Do It Yourself
Raising Awareness in Your Community
Be a Reporter!
1. One way you can tell your community about natural disasters is by being a reporter for the
local newspaper. You can do reports or interviews for radio, TV, newspapers, magazines,
books or even report ‘live’ at a community event.
2. Plan with your teacher to do a report for the anniversary of a major disaster for the UN
International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction or for any special day, week or month
dedicated to protection against natural disasters in your country. Use books, magazines or
newspapers for reference.

Think and Discuss

Trisha went to spend her summer vacation with her grandparents in Mandi, Shimla. Her brief
stay with her grandparents was soon interrupted by a landslide that occurred on the outskirts of
Shimla making it isolated from the rest of the nearby towns and places. What measures would
you suggest to Trisha to deal with the disaster and to help in the safe rescue of the people
around her?
