Aim and learning outcomes
Hurricanes, droughts, flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis... Our world is full of hazards. But hazards don’t always have to become disasters - and even when they do, there is so much that can be done to reduce the effects on people’s lives.
These resources will help pupils to understand what disasters are and how Christian Aid works to support those worst affected.
By the end of this lesson, pupils should be able to:
- identify a disaster
- understand different types of disaster
- recognise the practical and emotional impacts of a disaster
- understand how people can prepare for and deal with disasters
- identify the link between poverty and disaster risk
- explain how the impacts of future disasters can be reduced
- investigate the link between disasters and climate change
- consider appropriate responses to a disaster
