MAPPING OF NATURE RISKS AND DISASTERS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
Abstract
The paper presents definitions of nature risks and disasters. The mapping of the risk processes is discussed in the direction of educational purposes. International organizations publish information brochures about how to teach children correct behavior and preparation for natural disasters. Questions as “What do you do in case of an emergency” are discussed. Standards and technologies related to emergency management are considered. Some examples of maps and methods of mapping for young and older students are presented, and a proposal for National Strategy in the field of education is created on basis of them.
