Teaching disaster management to students is crucial as it provides them with the skills to respond effectively during emergencies, potentially saving lives. Knowing how to act during critical moments reduces panic and increases safety, ensuring students are prepared for unexpected situations both in and out of school.
On November 17, 2023, the school, along with the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation and the Geo-Hazards Society, organized a School Disaster Management Programme at the Kaveri Block open space. The event started at 1 PM and included training on essential disaster response techniques such as CPR, choking, and measures for handling fires, earthquakes, landslides, and floods.
Both students and teachers found the program very beneficial. The students learned how to react in emergencies, which boosted their confidence. For teachers, the program reinforced their roles as first responders, ensuring they are prepared to lead and protect students during disasters. The event highlighted the importance of community involvement in disaster preparedness, making it a valuable experience for everyone.
