WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT SAFETY....
A e you Ready?
When disasters happen, we often blame nature and rarely think about what people do that might increase risks and make the situation more dangerous. That's why reducing risks should be something we all think about. Let's work together today for a safer tomorrow. Reducing risks from natural disasters—we all need to do our part.
