Safer, Stronger, Smarter: A Guide to Improving School Natural Hazard Safety (FEMA P-1000)
Presented by Applied Technology Council
Children not only have the right to an education; they also have the right to an education in a safe environment. In many parts of the world, however, school buildings are highly vulnerable to significant damage, collapse, or destruction in an earthquake, flood, hurricane, tornado, or other natural hazard events. Past disasters have clearly demonstrated the devastating effects of school damage and subsequent closures. Even students who survive a major disaster might find their education disrupted or permanently ended, causing their future to be completely derailed. Despite the critical role that schools play in young people’s lives and in broader communities, many obstacles exist in attempting to improve school safety from natural hazards. These include competing public needs and demands, scarce resources, and lack of understanding of risks from natural hazards. This webinar will offer concrete guidance for making schools safer.
This webinar will provide an overview of the recently released guidebook, FEMA P-1000, Safer, Stronger, Smarter: A Guide to Improving School Natural Hazard Safety. FEMA P-1000 aims to equip school safety advocates and stakeholders with the information, tools, and resources they need to promote safer schools in their communities and it aims to empower and support decision-makers by providing actionable advice.
Webinar Presenter
Lori Peek, Director of the Natural Hazards Center and Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder
