March marks the fifth anniversary of the Tohoku disaster. But five years on, how well prepared are we? Have you considered how you as a woman might be impacted if a major disaster strikes? What’s your plan in the event of “the big one?” Facilitator Sarajean Rossitto will introduce some gender gaps that exist in disaster response as well as the basics of disaster prevention and preparation. Following the presentation will be an activity allowing everyone to deepen their ability to be ready.
Any proceeds from this event will be donated to our community service partners, Mirai no Mori and Second Harvest Japan.
This event has been organized in honor of International Women’s Day, held on March 8, 2016. This year’s theme is Pledge for Parity, encouraging women and men around the world to continue working for complete gender equality. Share your International Women’s Day activities all month long on social media with #PledgeForParity and #IWD2016.
