ERRD PB

The main goal of the ERRD PB Course is to promote strategies for the promotion and expansion of culture in ERRD in the state of Paraíba, through dialogic interaction/mediation with educators working in high school in public schools located in municipalities Paraíba with a high degree of risk of environmental disasters.

The state of Paraíba has 77.1% of its territory inserted in the semi-arid region, with a predisposition of the natural environment to the occurrence of extreme weather events, in particular, those arising from negative precipitation anomalies (PARAÍBA, 2018).

According to official data from the National Secretariat for Protection and Civil Defense, Paraíba stands out in the national and regional ranking for registering a significant number of recognitions of environmental disasters, predominantly climate disasters (drought and drought) and hydrometeorological disasters (floods), which we call of hydroclimatic disasters. It was these records, in addition to others, that motivated the realization of the ERRD PB Course.

So teacher, we believe that your participation in the mitigation/management of this socio-environmental problem, together with your students and your school community, or rather, from your mediation as an educator, you can play a role transforming this reality.

That together we can break with the rationality imprinted in the response/recovery of environmental disasters (focus on disasters), so that we can advance in expanding a culture of disaster risk management (focus on risk management), that is, in promoting a culture in ERRD!
