摘要:Malaysian government slowly adopted disaster education following the flood disaster in the year 2015 that disrupted the country’s healthcare, education, and economic development. Since then, school-based disaster risk education has been widely implemented by the school or through the non-governmental organization (NGO) providing a one-off or ad-hoc disaster education program. This has seemed as unsustainable as school authorities rarely follow up on learning outcomes and positive changes rarely seen between schools. With the preliminary traditional literature review, this paper aims to conceptualize the school disaster education model by outlining the factors that challenge the implementation of a sustainable school disaster education in Malaysia. Schools are vulnerable to the impact of a disaster, by instilling of disaster education at the school level, their preparedness would help countries improve school children’s safety and resilience while limiting the disruption of education in the event of disasters, at the same time, reduce the cost of disaster losses and enhance social cohesion.
