Project
Generally, West Java Province is gifted with fertile land, yet it is also very sensitive to changes. With relatively many volcanoes around the area, West Java Province is vulnerable to both tectonic and volcanic earthquakes and eruptions too. In the area, there are a number of volcanoes, seven of which are Class A Active Volcanoes.
A series of educational and training projects should be implemented, to decrease the impact of the volcanic hazard, with the objective of increasing awareness and response capacity and reducing the effect of the hazard on the most vulnerable people in the communities living in high disaster-prone areas. The main vision of the project is Education for Sustainable Development. The concerned community will be part of the resilient disaster community that incorporates the concept of sustainable development.
