Why this Initiative? The Second Session of the Global Platform on DRR, held in Geneva in June 2009, proposed that by 2011 national assessments of the safety of existing education and health facilities should be undertaken, and that by 2015 concrete action plans for safer schools and hospitals should be developed and implemented in all disaster prone countries. The High-Level Dialogue Communiqué of the Fourth Session of the Global Platform on DRR in May 2013 proposed to “Start a global safe schools and safe health structures campaign in disaster-prone areas with voluntary funding and commitments to be announced at the World Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction for 2015.”

Why safe schools and hospitals? People in unsafe schools and hospitals are at the greatest risk of losing their lives. Children in schools and the sick in hospitals and health facilities are the most vulnerable people in times of disaster. When schools are damaged, learning opportunities are disrupted, and the quality of education drops. When hospitals and health facilities are destroyed, the treatment of the sick is hampered and the saving of victims during a catastrophe becomes difficult.

Purpose Involve everybody - individuals, groups or institutions Raise public awareness and create social demand for safe schools & hospitals

Who can pledge? Everybody can pledge Individual – student, parent, teacher, patient, doctor, nurse Community, Organizations, Institutions Local and National Governments Business groups and corporations Donors
