PHUKET:-- A project to educate 2,000 students from 20 schools across Phuket about disaster preparedness, involving international experts, drew to a close at Saphan Hin yesterday (June 21). The project marked the launch of a new initiative to bring together resources from all aspects of society, including hotels, resorts and other businesses, to help respond to disasters should another one befall Phuket.

 

The project, “Building Community-Level Disaster Awareness – School Outreach Project” held at the Srinagarindra The Princess Mother School in Phuket, involved experts from the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) and was organised by the Phuket Disaster Resilience Foundation. Students from across Phuket taking part learned about how earthquakes and tsunamis are created and how to respond if one occurs.

 

Students were involved in earthquake and tsunami safety sessions from June 5-16 with the first project focusing on topics that engage 11- and 12-year-olds attending school in Phuket. A second round of training, expanding to 30 schools, will be starting this October.
