Throughout human history, disasters of various kinds have been consistent companions. Our country faces a wide range of potential emergencies. While disasters may strike suddenly, their catastrophic consequences can be alleviated through proper knowledge, planning, implementing protective measures, risk reduction strategies, and preparedness actions.

Preparing and educating individuals to safeguard themselves from the unexpected shocks of emergencies is paramount. Among the most vulnerable in such circumstances are children. Educating children demands a continuous and dedicated effort, where theoretical knowledge is essential but not sufficient on its own.

Dear parents, let's embark on this significant journey together and empower our children with the knowledge they need today and tomorrow.
