More than 60% of the area in our country is threatened by an earthquake, in addition to tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, forest fires and degradation biodiversity. This article focuses on mitigating such natural disasters, especially earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, through the Disaster Risk Reduction Program (DRR). Until now, no technology has been able to accurately predict when earthquakes and tsunamis will occur. One effective action to anticipate is through continuing education and training programs for children, youth and adults.
