Perspectives
I find this publication particularly interesting and commendable because it addresses a crucial aspect of disaster management: involving young people in disaster preparedness and response. In times of increasing climate-related disasters and other emergencies, harnessing the energy, creativity, and dedication of the youth is paramount. The use of andragogy, which is a teaching approach tailored to adults, is a strategic choice as it motivates young participants to actively engage and learn.
