Risk Management

This publication was prepared by the office of Plan International, in El Salvador, with the financial contribution of the European Union. This is the second edition of the guides for youth brigades, included in three modules titled: “Let us protect our health”, “Let us protect our natural resources”, and “Learning to manage risk.” This material represents one of the most important achievements of the project, “Youth participation in disaster prevention in 20 vulnerable communities in El Salvador.”

This initiative, financed by Plan International/El Salvador and the European Commission’s Humanitarian Office –ECHO-, makes available, to all interested people and organizations, one of the key successes of the project: educational tools intended for youth, that contribute to acquiring and strengthening knowledge of risk management and disaster prevention, and its dissemination among their families and communities.
