International Day for Disaster Reduction, on October 13, is a special day when people around the world think about natural disasters, like floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes. It's a time to learn how to stay safe and help each other when these events happen. On this day, countries share ideas and make plans to reduce the damage disasters can cause. By working together, everyone can be better prepared and protect themselves and their communities. It's like a big global team effort to keep everyone safe and strong when nature gets dangerous.

How to celebrate International Day for Disaster Reduction?

Make a safety plan with your family so everyone knows what to do in an emergency. Practice a pretend evacuation drill, like it's a game where you quickly and safely leave the house. Create a small emergency kit with things like water, snacks, and a flashlight. Draw a fun poster about staying safe during disasters and share it with friends to spread awareness. Watch a safety video or read a book about how to prepare for disasters. Finally, share a helpful safety tip with someone you know. Celebrate by learning and having fun while staying safe!
