Teaching resources

Disaster resilience education (DRE) is learning about natural hazards in the local environment and ways to keep communities safe from harm before, during and after an emergency or disaster.

Through the Education for Young People program, AIDR promotes the development of hazard-related knowledge and skills for all young Australians, enabling them to participate in local action to reduce the risk of disaster.
