A global charity is advocating for child-based disaster resilience planning at this week's Global Platform - News - Professional Resources - PreventionWeb.net: As part of a Children’s Charter, the charity and its NGO partners interviewed over 600 children in 21 high risk countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, asking them to suggest their key concerns during disasters and offer suggestions for planning for disasters.
During the interviews, children told of issues such as structural safety problems in their communities; exploitation and abuse during disasters and a lack of access to useful information.
