Philippines: Youth involvement in disaster preparedness
The city government of Makati said Monday it will involve the youth in disaster risk reduction initiatives and programs because they should be aware about disaster preparedness and response at an early age, reports Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation. This coincides with UN’s celebration of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction with the theme "Making Children and Youth Partners in Disaster Risk Reduction" and slogan "Step Up for Disaster Risk Reduction."
