A STUDY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT AWARENESS AND PREPAREDNESS FOR THE STUDENTS OF HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL: THE INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTS

Abstract

Education is affected by events that may trigger emotional distress. A disaster is an unexpected event triggered by causes that are normal or human-made that have a detrimental effect on human everyday lives and living standards. To mitigate, if not eliminate, the destruction, there has been an increased awareness worldwide for disaster management. Person actions are directly related to their degree of preparedness and knowledge regarding the problem of dealing with disasters. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of disaster management awareness for the students of higher secondary school.
