BASW Students from Patan Multiple Campus Participate in Disaster Preparedness Awareness Class at MDRRLC

In August 2024, Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) students from Patan Multiple Campus (PMC) attended an awareness class at the Mitra Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center (MDRRLC). The program aimed to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to disaster preparedness, with particular emphasis on readiness before a disaster occurs.

The session covered fundamental DRR concepts, different types of disasters, their impacts, and preparedness and mitigation strategies. Students also took part in practical exercises addressing preparedness before disasters, emergency response procedures, emergency planning, and the role of community involvement in disaster management.

Following the awareness class, the PMC Social Work students expressed their intention to share the knowledge they gained with friends and peers. They also showed interest in volunteering at the MDRRLC in the future, extending their engagement with disaster preparedness and community resilience.
