Just-in-time (JIT) education: Basic concept & Goal The nature of disasters draws public attention! Larger events mean larger interest. JIT educational strategy seizes the opportunity of public interest to teach and find national and global expertise in hazards and risk information. Although it can be applied by any means of communication, the Internet is an efficient approach to provide educators with scholarly, user-friendly, low-cost, and online-offline training materials.
