Resilience is for Life: A focus on older people and disasters

On 13 October 2014, the International Day for Disaster Reduction will be celebrated which this year is titled “Resilience is for life” and will focus on the contributions of older persons to disaster risk reduction and resilience.

As part of the activities leading to the International Day for Disaster Reduction celebrations in October, UNISDR and its partner HelpAge International are inviting older persons and their caregivers to complete the following survey. This information will be very important to understand older persons' knowledge and experiences with disasters in the run up to the 2014 International Day for Disaster.
