Background
The French Red Cross ( CRF ) has been implementing since 2000 a regional Disaster Risk Management program ( GRC ) from « Regional Intervention Platform of the Indian Ocean » ( PIROI) based on Reunion Island.
In close coordination with the international components of the Red Cross and the National Societies members of the PIROI (Comoros, Madagascar, Seychelles, Mauritius, France – Reunion/Mayotte, Mozambique, Tanzania), it aims to reduce the impact of natural and health-related disasters and the effects of climate change on the populations of the southwestern zone of the Indian Ocean’.
The 2021 – 2025 strategic framework of the PIROI includes the following four strategic axes :
- Axis 1: The knowledge and skills of disaster management actors are improved regarding risks related to natural hazards, health crises and climate change
- Axis 2: The capacities of disaster management actors are strengthened in the management of risks related to natural hazards, health crises and climate change
- Axis 3: The populations of the south-west of the Indian Ocean’ are better informed and prepared for the risks related to natural hazards, health crises and climate change
- Axis 4: Populations affected by a disaster related to natural hazards receive emergency assistance that meets their priority needs and contributes to their recovery
At Reunion, the French Red Cross has been implementing the project since 2011 Not Ready, which aims to raise awareness and prepare the Reunionese population to the risks related to natural and health hazards in Reunion.
To achieve this, several axes of work are privileged among which :
- The development of partnerships : This is’ to associate a large number of’actors involved in risk management (Institutional partners, Partners, technical and operational) with the aim of better preventing risks related to natural and health hazards in Reunion Island and the’Indian Ocean.
- Awareness raising in school environment : It is essential to prepare the younger generations to face the risks related to natural and health hazards. An agreement between the French Red Cross and the Ministry of’Education, developed with the Rectorate of Reunion, allows schools to integrate the prevention modules of the project Not Ready in the school program of cycle 3 (CM1, CM2 and 6th).
- Prevention among the general public ( Events, prevention stand … ) In order to raise awareness among the entire Reunion population, the project is not limited to activities intended for children but extends to all family members. Thematic workshops are organized in order to challenge children, parents, grandparents on the level of preparation of the family. In addition, prevention activities also find their place during events such as the Grand-Raid, the Science Festival or the International Day for Disaster Prevention. Volunteers and the project team run stands where the public comes to take part in prevention activities.
