Is your school equipped to handle disasters?
Floods, earthquakes, and other natural hazards can strike at any time. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) understands the importance of disaster preparedness and is taking a proactive approach to educate students.

In this article, we’ll break down the details of CBSE’s exciting new initiative: free webinars on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) specifically designed for schools affiliated with the board (Classes 6-10).
Why DRR in Schools?
While disaster management has been part of the CBSE curriculum for years, the focus is now shifting towards DRR. This updated approach aims to:
- Equip students with the skills to develop emergency response plans, prepare emergency kits, and participate in drills.
- Integrate DRR concepts across different subjects, making disaster preparedness a more holistic learning experience.
- Develop coping mechanisms to help students deal with the emotional impact of disasters.
Free Webinars for Teachers and Heads of Schools
The CBSE is organizing webinars for school principals and teachers to introduce them to the new DRR handbook and its effective implementation.
