International organizations publish information brochures about how to teach children correct behaviour and preparation for natural disasters. Questions such as "What do you do in case of an emergency" are discussed. Standards and technologies related to emergency management are considered. Some exampels of maps and methods of mapping for young and older students are presented, and proposal for the National Strategy in the field of education is created on the basis of them. |
