The documentary focuses on how schools can help populations prepare for natural disasters: “Natural disasters may be unavoidable but when at-risk populations are informed, and prepared, the loss of life and devastation caused by disasters can be reduced dramatically. Earth Report visits Cuba, Tajikistan and Thailand to look at how education and awareness can make the difference between life and death.” For more information, please see the BBC World Service.
