Knowledge Exchange
We look forward to growing this section of the website with valuable information that may be helpful to you and facilitate knowledge sharing. We will be bringing over some of the content from the previous site from the library in the months to come. In the meantime, here are some links you may find useful
These 14 videos provide Canadian Indigenous disaster evacuees with an opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge with a broad, international audience. Every year hundreds of Indigenous people are evacuated from their homes and some remain displaced for months or even years. Indigenous evacuees have important stories to share about this largely invisible situation. Through the videos, participants explain in their own words the short and long-term impacts from evacuations, highlight how pre-existing strengths and challenges influenced their capacities to cope with the evacuation, and outline their thoughts on important insights and lessons gained. These videos capture perspectives from four communities: Lytton First Nation/Kanaka Bar Band, BC; Cormorant Island, BC; Long Plain First Nation, MB; and Eskasoni First Nation, NS.

UNDRR (formerly UNISDR) is the United Nations focal point for disaster risk reduction. UNDRR oversees the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, supporting countries in its implementation, monitoring and sharing what works in reducing existing risk and preventing the creation of new risk.
Provincial and territorial emergency management organizations (EMOs) are a good source of information about how to prepare for emergencies in your region. EMO’s activities include planning and research, training, response operations and the administration and delivery of disaster financial assistance programs. EMOs are most familiar with the natural hazards and other risks of your region. Learn more from the EMO in your province or territory.
Stay tuned for more updates soon.

[Image description: light blue background with white speech bubble asking "did you know" with the contents stating " Child-Centered Risk Reduction (CCRR) help decrease risk of children and their families to disaster?" CRHNet logo spans across the top of the image.]
It is that time of year that the children in our communities head off to school daily. Learning everything from how to be a good friend, math and even disaster risk reduction. Not many people stop to consider the role that children play when it comes to risk reduction in what could be catastrophic disaster events.
Did you know, CCRR initiatives build capacity not only in the child's mind but could also influence the decisions in their households? When children were presented with home preparedness materials they were 75% more likely to have a household plan discussed with their family and twice as likely to have participated in a home drill according to FEMA (FEMA 2014: p.33).
How many people this year will prioritize doing these exercises with their children? Share your plans and photos of your drills with us for a chance to be featured in one of our news letters!
