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.
