Disaster Education Promotion Office

Fostering resilient communities through education

The Disaster Education Promotion Office (DEPO) is a forward-thinking organization committed to strengthening disaster resilience through capacity building of educators, local officials, and organizations who help reach out to the communities with techniques and information needed for disaster preparedness. Through localized education, capacity building, and community engagement, we equip individuals and institutions with the educational tools they need to prepare for and respond to natural hazards. 

As a leader in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) education, DEPO develops cross-sectoral initiatives that empower schools, local governments, and communities to take proactive self-help and mutual-help steps toward understanding disasters. 

Through partnerships with both local and international organizations, DEPO has delivered impactful programs to enrich people's way of thinking towards disasters.
