12. 1) TOPICS FOR SENSITIZATION CAMPAIGN AND DEMONSTRATION ON PROTECTION:
1.1) IMPORTANCE OF OCCASION I.E, WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY
The world seems to be waking up to the issue of climate change
and just how precarious the situation of the environment is. The
condition of the environment hangs in the balance and it is the
choices that we make that can make such a huge difference.
Days like World Environment Day (WED) help bring these
issues to the consciousness of people all around the world.
Theme of world environment day
2017: “CONECTING PEOPLE TO
NATURE”

13. 1.2)WETLANDS
Wetlands provide significant economic, social and cultural benefits.
They are important for primary products such as pastures, timber and
fish and support recreational and tourist activities. Wetlands also help
reduce the impacts from storm damage and flooding, maintain good
water quality in rivers, recharge groundwater, store carbon, help
stabilise climatic conditions and control pests. They are also important
sites for biodiversity.
Theme of world wetland day 2017: “Wetlands for disaster risk
reduction”

14. 1.3)GREEN SPACES
Green spaces are a great benefit to our environment. They
filter pollutants and dust from the air, they provide shade
and lower temperatures in urban areas, and they even
reduce erosion of soil into our waterways. These are just a
few of the environmental benefits that green spaces
provide.
 Urban advantages
 Water quality protection.
 Reduced heat build-up.
 Reduced soil erosion.
 Improved air quality
 Natural resource conservation
 Green roofs cool urban hot spots.
 Cooler summer days.

whom we live, lets prove that we are Humans.....”

detail problem areas
2) Ask authorities about relocation routes and centres
3) If your area is flood prone consider alternatives to carpets
4)Prepare an emergency kit
5)Prepare a household flood plan
6)Keep a list of emergency telephone numbers on display

18.  If flooding is due make your safety a priority and if you have time try to
prepare your property:

 Place important personal documents, valuables and vital medical supplies into a
waterproof case in an accessible location

present.

20. 2.3.b) Escaping a Fire
Make sure windows are not nailed or painted shut.
Make sure security gratings on windows have a fire
safety opening feature so they can be easily opened
from the inside.
Consider escape ladders if your building has more
than one level, and ensure that burglar bars and other
anti-theft mechanisms that block outside window entry
are easily opened from the inside.
Teach others to stay low to the floor (where the air is
safer in a fire) when escaping from a fire.
