Shaping a disaster resilient Europe will be the key focus of the European Civil Protection Forum #CPForum2024. A focus on disaster prevention and preparedness is also anticipated by the >100 submissions to the CLIMAAX support fund to help regions make a climate risk assessment.   I look forward to attending web streaming the Forum and learning more about the regional scope of the European Civil Protection Mechanism.   If you haven’t had time to register yet, you can still do so until 30 April ➡️ europa.eu/!GBDfDJ

In a changing #climate with increasing risks from extreme weather and disasters, greater awareness of risks is crucial for #preparedness. The Public Awareness Public Education (PAPE) guide and the WhatNow Service provide evidence-based, concise and practical guidance for communities to build their #resilience and know how to safely act before, during and after a #disaster. A new FREE online course on localizing PAPE action-oriented messages is now available through the IFRC Learning Platform. Developed by International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC with Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) and Save the Children International, it provides essential background on PAPE and the WhatNow Services and teaches how to engage in a national level process to localize early action messages. The course is a contribution to the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector work to strengthen #RiskReduction and resilience #education at scale.
