problem, how and when to activate the plan).
Staff Training - Semi-annually

27. Exercises
Exercises and simulations provide a method for
the overall evaluation of the disaster planning
program:
• Conduct “tabletop” disaster exercise (disaster
planning staff, minimal disruption to daily business
routine)

28. • Conduct small-scale disaster simulation
(includes more staff, moderate interruption to
daily business routine)
• Conduct large-scale disaster simulation
(involves a large proportion of staff and may
require the suspension of normal daily
business routine)
Exercises

29. Maintenance and Evaluation
• The organization to ensuring that the training program is
effective and current.

41. Challenges and opportunities of disaster
education program among UUM (University
Utara Malaysia) students
• The study was done in Malaysia in 2016
• The study focuses on two primary objectives – explore the
awareness among students regarding natural disaster prevention
and to identify the challenges and opportunities for disaster
education program among students
• Consent was taken. Samples were selected. Demographic data was
collected. Questionnaire was administered to analyze the challenges
and opportunities of disaster education program after attending the
program.

42. FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
I. FUNDING
Because of climate change natural disasters are
expected to be amplified in frequency and impact.
The largest human cost will be borne by the
population which is already disadvantaged by
poverty.
There is also lack of disaster education funding to
invest in capacity building and give training to all
students.

43. II. DURATION
The pre and post event activities have to be
considered.
Therefore longer duration is needed. In Japan
disaster education is started from kindergarten
level.
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

44. III. TARGET GROUP
Disaster education should be given in simple
words for each group based through interactive
sessions which will make them develop an
interest in this subject to seek more
information on disasters.
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

45. IV. DEPTH AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Supportive groups have to be contacted.
