Between 2010-19 only US$5.5 billion of #ODA was aimed at risk reduction measures before disasters strike, compared to US$119.8 billion spent on emergency response & US$7.7 billion for reconstruction, relief, & rehabilitation. We must inverse this ratio!!! https://t.co/6QFDH9vMQg
👋 On the occasion of the #DRRday, @GAD3RES is pleased to share a statement 👇 highlighting the impacts of #disasters on #education and the efforts engaged by GADRRRES to update the Comprehensive School Safety Framework to integrate an all-hazards approach 🤝
Spread the word! 📣
The way how societies are “denaturing natural hazards” is an important issue to be considered in development & disaster’s studies. Climate change, fracking, & deforestation, among others, are changing natural evolutive phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes and droughts.
Do you remember that @GAD3RES released a special edition on school safety for the International Journal of #DRR?
Its 15 articles are promotionally publicly available for 6 months 👉 https://t.co/tWizWzFYMB
We will share a link to one of them every Monday to well start the week 😃
Durante el seminario Desarrollo de la resiliencia a través del planeamiento educativo con sensibilidad a las crisis, @jair_torres_11, de @UNDRR_Americas, enfatizó en la urgencia de una perspectiva integral y multisectorial.
Together with my colleagues Irina Pavlova and Margherita Fanchiotti, we contributed to the Cindynic Studies of #RISCOS journal with an article on Science and Education for Disaster Risk Reduction: the role of @UNESCO. @GAD3RES & @VISUS_CSS are presented.

🙋♀️🙋♂️Article #6 of the forthcoming #GAD3RES IJDRR special edition on school safety: "Multi-hazard visual inspection for defining safety upgrading strategies of learning facilities at territorial level: VISUS methodology" 👉https://t.co/Bl9cyk5DHU
Guidelines for Assessing Learning Facilities @VISUS_CSS are now online and ready to be implemented worldwide. Thanks to @unescoEARTH and @SprintUniUD we could now assess the build environment of schools worldwide in an efficient and rapid way. https://t.co/J7jM9zkjvD #SDG4#SFDRR
The Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector's (Gadrrres) latest newsletter is out! 👏
Read more about their projects such as "Safe Children, Safe Schools", or how they are building a culture of hazard-awareness in Guatemala’s schools.🏫
Our @VISUS_CSS Methodology contributes to the whole Comprehensive School Safety Framework, notably to pillar 1: Safe learning facilities. It has been also recognized in the last @UNDRR#GAR2019 as a major contributor to #WISS, & a tool to reach the targets of the #SFDRR & #SDGs
I am very honoured to be invited by the @globalnetworkdr and by @GAD3RES to present the Comprehensive School Safety Framework and the Worldwide Initiative for Safe Schools launched by @UNDRR in the next members' webinar.
A school collapsed on 23/09 in Nairobi 🇰🇪 causing 7 deaths and 64 injuries certainly due to the type of construction and lack of maintenance
Developing methodologies to assess the vulnerability of schools is thus essential @VISUS_CSS@SprintUniUD@UNESCO

Researchers from @lborouniversity claim that “by continuously blaming and putting the responsibility for failures of development on “nature”, we – as a society – fail to hold accountable those who create disaster risk.” #disastersarenotnatural#Resilience https://t.co/vS6nni7I0T
The school safety assessment methodology, @VISUS_CSS, aims to provide information to policymakers to help them decide where to focus their risk reduction efforts @UNESCO@SprintUniUD@USalvador
