The development of awareness on the prevention and or the management of the disasters should be practised and adopted 'as school culture to raise the level of awareness in schools and the community around the schools, through the involvement of specialists and teachers in
the programmes.
The study therefore recommends that the Ministry of Education establishes a disaster management centre in schools and develop a curriculum on disaster preparedness and management in Teacher Training Colleges. Further, teacher in-service training courses for the employed teachers should be fostered. The community shall gain the knowledge that is essential in the protection of nature and the environment and shall learn ways of protecting themselves from flood disasters that occurs.
