DISASTER RISK REDUCTION EDUCATION NETWORK (ENDRR-L)

Marla Petal, of RiskRed, is currently moderating a listserve on disaster risk reduction education (ENDRR-L). The list is informative and active, and the following message from Marla contains information on how you can get on their mailing list:

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

At some point during the past two years you have expressed an interest in being kept "in the loop" regarding disaster risk reduction education to children and to the general public. Some of you are representatives of National Platforms, education organizations, regional networks, international agencies, and others with a formal responsibility in this area. Others are individual practitioners, activists, advocates, teachers, students interested in this field.

The list is open to anyone who wishes to sign on. I am volunteering to moderate for the coming few months - which means that postings will pass by me and I will post all legitimate postings that fall within this purpose. Among other things this list will serve as a way for the UNISDR Global Platform's Knowledge and Education Platform to communicate with the widest possible group of individuals who want to be kept informed.

The Disaster Risk Reduction Education Network listserv has been set up to keep all of us informed of key research, meetings, publications, discussions, initiatives and
achievements in this important emerging field. Our goal is to increase the quality and effectiveness of disaster risk reduction education leading to fewer disaster losses of all kinds.
