- Recognise natural hazards in their local environment.
- Understand the harmful impacts that natural hazards have on people and places.
- Demonstrate strategies for staying safe, seeking help, and helping others in an emergency.
- Design solutions to local challenges related to hazards and emergencies.
We’ve partnered with the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience to launch a unit for Years 7 & 8, however the lessons could also work for Upper Primary: Years 5 & 6. The lessons help kids understand hazards, risks and how to avoid and/or limit the impact of potential disasters.
AIDR aims to foster the growth of resilience in young people to better cope with disasters pre, during, and post the event.
The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR) develops, maintains and shares knowledge and learning to support a disaster resilient Australia.
