The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR), through the Education for Young People program, promotes the development of hazard-related knowledge, skills and strategies for all young Australians.

Disaster resilience education equips students with the confidence to take protective action before, during and after an emergency or disaster.

The Disaster Resilient Australia-New Zealand School Education Network (DRANZSEN) is a national initiative, developing the knowledge and skills of educators to deliver disaster resilience education in partnership with local experts in hazards and emergency management.

This National Forum offers an opportunity for educators, researchers, practitioners from emergency services and others, to:

• consider current research in disaster resilience education,
• explore innovative case studies from Australian schools,
• review national priorities, and
• identify common challenges, opportunities and future directions.

• community engagement and education staff from the emergency/disaster management sector
• relief and recovery agencies
