The Department of School Education and the Department of Local Governance & Disaster Management under the Ministry of Home Affairs, successfully conducted a three-day Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) awareness training for disaster focal teachers under Thimphu Thromde from May 15-17.
The first day focused on building foundational knowledge covering key concepts of disaster risk management, Bhutan’s national DRM framework and initiatives within the education sector.
The following day featured hands-on fire safety sessions conducted by the Fire Division of the Royal Bhutan Police.
The third was dedicated entirely to First Aid training facilitated by the Bhutan Red Cross Society equipping participants with essential life-saving skills to respond effectively to emergencies in school settings.
The Ministry extends its sincere appreciation to all partner agencies for their valuable contributions and looks forward to replicating similar DRR awareness training programs in other Dzongkhags/Thromdes.
