Finishing our first module for the second year

It has been really good since we started our second year, we have just finished our first module which was about community and family preparedness.  We really enjoyed the module since well the module was more focused on our daily lives. 
We even did the preparedness surveys and it made it more interesting because we realized that most of our parents have the same mindset about emergency preparedness. They believe that there is nothing to prepare for. The only important phase for them is response because they think that nothing is hard to deal with, '' God is the creator of everything''. They don’t understand that all the faces of emergency/disaster management are important, more especially Preparedness as it is the foundation of emergency/disaster management. It is a disaster-readiness function and includes pre-disaster planning, training, higher education, exercises, drills, standards, technology, outreach and partnership.
