Building a culture to confront disasters, by Luis Enrique Aparicio M.

The article discusses the need for a culture of disaster preparedness in Venezuela and Colombia, following recent earthquakes.

Recent earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia highlight the need for disaster preparedness.

Both countries have legal frameworks and educational programs for risk management, such as Venezuela's 2009 Law on Integral Management of Socionatural and Technological Risks.

The article questions whether these frameworks have translated into a national culture of prevention.

It suggests schools should incorporate disaster preparedness content, not necessarily as a new subject but integrated into existing curricula.
