How can children participate in emergency planning? The key is making the learning place based, according to Dr Briony Towers, designing learning activities to everyday environments and tailoring learning to children's personal interests and priorities. Join Dr Towers and CFA’s Neil Munro in exploring how disaster education at Harkaway Primary School on Melbourne’s leafy urban fringe is upskilling and empowering children to prepare for a bushfire at home, at school and in their town. In this video, Neil learns about the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC research findings, meets Ruby and Tom, their mothers and their principal, and reflects on how he can use the research to continue to improve bushfire education.
