Young people are a key part of DiMaNN’s strategy for disaster management. DiMaNN recognizes that youth have energy, creativity, and a strong ability to adapt, making them perfect candidates to help with disaster risk reduction and management. DiMaNN works to get youth involved in all stages of disaster management, from learning about the risks to actually helping during disaster responses.
Young people are given the chance to participate in training programs, where they learn important skills like risk assessment, emergency planning, and leadership. They also help raise awareness about disaster preparedness in their communities. Youth who are involved in these programs often become leaders, sharing what they’ve learned with others and organizing community preparedness activities.
Involving youth not only helps in immediate disaster responses but also prepares them to take on bigger roles in the future. By giving young people the knowledge and skills to handle disasters, DiMaNN is helping to build a generation of resilient, proactive citizens who are ready to take action when their communities need it most.
