As part of mainstreaming DRR activities in the education sector, school safety awareness programmes are planned in association with the education department. For up scaling up the efforts related to school safety and hospital safety, designing of apps are being planned for aiding the stakeholders in preparing DM plans and disseminating DM related information. Two handbooks based on the themes ‘school safety’ and ‘disasters & climate change’ are planned for students and teachers respectively. As part of strengthening the participation of the Non-governmental institutions and coordination with the governmental mechanism, district level IAGs which were constituted last year will be coordinated and reinforced. In order to capture the impact of disasters on vulnerable sections of population dis-aggregated data of the population affected by various disasters will be enumerated.
