Notes on ‘Methods of Delivery’
Again there were several methods of delivery noted in ‘Disaster Risk Reduction: Mitigation and Preparedness’.
• Posters and leaflets are the most common form of strategy as they are relatively cheap to produce – However, the impact of this method is said to be weakened because of inappropriate images. People are moved by visual images more than verbal ones and tend to remember them better, especially in societies with low literacy levels: THEREFORE: USING TSUNAMI CARTOON DRAWN BY BOY IN MY CLASS AND USING ONLY ONE WORD – ‘TSUNAMI’ is a good way of getting message across. NB – Need to get this scanned and put on web site!
• Use of Demonstrations – Shake tables are often used in demonstrations. Other demonstrations may also be useful for people to fully comprehend hazards: egg tectonics, clamp and pencil, sound waves (clicking fingers) etc. NOTE: SHAKE TABLES THAT CAN BE CARRIED AROUND ESAILY – VARIABLE SPEED DRILL TABLE DESIGN OR CRANK SHAFT DESIGN, MAY BE MORE USEFUL AS THEY CAN BE MADE AND DISTRIBUTESD TO EDUCATORS AND PEOPLE WILLING TO DEMONSTRATE.
• Hazard Risk Maps: Important that they are presented in an easily understood format - Is it possible to use 3D mapping and photographic montages so that maps are less abstract – especially to people with lower literacy levels. When hazard maps are being drawn up sites could also be photographed? (i.e. Parts of volcano slope where pyroclastic surges may occur, or safer areas that population should evacuate to!)
Entertainment Media: In past radio soap operas have been used to get across the dangers of hurricanes – Teimpos de Huracanes (Hurricane Season) in Central America. I thought that working with school and producing a DVD in a ‘Bollywood’ style to show people the dangers of earthquakes and of the importance of building design and of duck and cover exercises. In particular a good and easily remembered song needs to be written and a good dance routine!! I have approached the director media at school and we have started to talk about possible locations for filming etc. gain the idea is to get students to be involved writing and producing the film. If this was successful it could either be exported and used in education projects or used as a model for villages/ schools to make their own versions, using a pre written format – Much like a village play - Very useful in places like Indonesia where this is a useful way of learning about past or myths and legends – can be used in an educational way – Shadow Puppets?
