Building communities that are resilient to natural disasters

Since 2022, Acecook Vietnam, in collaboration with the Department of Dike Management and Disaster Prevention, has held five disaster prevention knowledge contests for elementary school students across the country (Quang Nam Province, Quang Binh Province, Hoa Binh Province, Phu Tho Province, and Da Nang City), called “Ring the Golden Bell: Creating the Future through Disaster Prevention.” This quiz-style contest is not only a fun learning opportunity, but has also been highly praised as a new approach to practical disaster prevention education. Children naturally and deeply acquire disaster prevention knowledge, including how to identify types of disasters, early warning signs, first aid methods, and actions to protect themselves and their families. This also serves as a means of disseminating disaster prevention knowledge at home and in the local community.

We also regularly hold specialized training sessions and seminars on “nutrition, health, and safety” in the event of a disaster, contributing to the realization of the national project “Improving disaster prevention awareness and risk management capabilities rooted in local communities” which has a target of 2030.
