Prioritized Areas:

|
- Assess the knowledge and awareness among youth on Landslide Disasters and
actions to be taken during a catastrophic situation in the form of questionnaires
circulated in different schools mainly in the regions highly prone to landslides and slope
failures during rainy seasons.
|
-
Ensure knowledge transfer among the school students and immediate school leavers
by experts and specialists in the field to enhance adoptability with the mechanisms
involving landslide risk reduction.
|
- Conduct mobile campaigns focusing on psycho-social, cultural and health care aspects
that should be concerned during a post disaster event by the youth according to age
and gender basis.
