Youth Are Our Future Assets in Emergency and Disaster Management
Journal Title: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Crises and disasters cannot be avoided, but their consequences can be mitigated by planning, exercises and preparedness [1-3]. Although major events affect whole society, their impact on vulnerable groups is more evident. Children and youth belong to this category and need to be considered for special planning and education [4-6]. Numerous studies have shown the importance of early engagement of young people in planning and preparedness efforts for disasters. However, most studies evaluating youth´s emergency and crisis preparedness are descriptive and end up as a case description in handbooks, recommendations, and lectures [7-9].
