Resilience of schools to extreme coastal flooding

ReSCOOL (Resilience Of Schools To Extreme Coastal FlOOding Loads) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative project with the aim of assessing the multi-hazard vulnerability of schools.

Rescool School

The devastating impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami highlighted the threat to the education system in many developing countries, including Sri Lanka. Despite tsunami risk reduction efforts such as education programmes, early warning and evacuation procedures, schools have mostly been reconstructed in the same hazard prone locations and have been found to have low levels of hazard preparedness. ReSCOOL (Resilience Of Schools To Extreme Coastal FlOOding Loads) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative project with the aim of assessing and addressing the multi-hazard vulnerability of the education system to tsunamis and extreme flooding.
