The Red Cross and the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) work together in Haiti to educate children on simple actions which kids can do when disasters hit. The project, part of the DIPECHO programme on risk management and disaster, uses games and songs to teach disaster risk reduction to the young ones.

From 14 to 18 March, the international community will come together at the UN Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Japan to discuss how we can better prepare for disasters and adopt a new global framework on disaster risk reduction.
