The Ministry for Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection and the Federal Education Authority in Mexico City have jointly developed a strategy to strengthen the culture of civil protection among children and adolescents studying in Mexico City schools. The strategy began in 2019 with the creation of a methodology that characterizes the areas of the city most susceptible to the impact of disruptive phenomena, weighted by their economic impact and historically observed fatality rates. The results provide relevant insights in the way DRR educational activities develop significative learning.

With this objective in mind, this cooperation project is in the works to exchange experiences, as well as to potentially assess the efficiency of using various educational models on students that promote community participation and early action.
The creation of community networks that span across various sectors enables the dissemination of skills and knowledge for improved territorial response. As such, this project aims to connect the educational sector with local stakeholders for risk management.
