The establishment of an academic hub and certification initiative for prospective teachers presents a viable solution to address gaps in disaster risk reduction (DRR) education by offering structured and comprehensive training. Miyagi University of Education (MUE), situated in Sendai, Japan, a region affected by disasters, has been at the forefront of promoting DRR education across teacher training universities nationwide. This study explores the role of a university hub in facilitating the implementation of DRR education and examines the found...

Socioscientific issues as a moral context for hazard literacy and disaster education

https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0022
Disaster education is critical for fostering community resilience, but it often struggles to engage learners deeply with the complex, real-world dimensions of hazards. This paper explores the potential of socioscientific issues (SSI) as a pedagogical context to enhance disaster education. SSI, which involve complex, open-ended problems with conceptual, procedural, and ethical components, provide a rich framework for developing critical thinking, decision-making skills, and civic engagement—all vital for effective disaster preparedness and res...

Gauging urban resilience for risk-informed governance and disaster risk reduction in Srinagar city
Akhtar Alam , M. Sultan Bhat
J. Hazard Lit. 2025;1(2):e11
https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0026
With the rapid growth of urban areas, the issues concerning their resilience have now become more important than ever. This is particularly true in the developing world, where resilience-building efforts are rarely embedded into development planning and policy interventions struggle to keep pace with the overwhelming expansion of urban areas. Assessing the resilience of urban areas is imperative for risk-informed governance and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), particularly in multi-hazard-prone cities like Srinagar. The assessment enables stakeho...

Ten key pathways for fostering innovations in disaster and climate resilience in a changing global risk landscape
Rajib Shaw
J. Hazard Lit. 2025;1(2):e10
https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0025
The global disaster risk landscape is becoming increasingly complex, influenced by a combination of natural hazards, human-induced risks, technological and geo-political risks and systemic vulnerabilities. World Economic Forum (WEF) shows the emerging new risks in recent years, while in longer term the environmental risk remains as the top risk. The interconnectedness of the risks and system urges systemic approach in disaster risk reduction. Based on the current state of knowledge, ten key pathways are suggested for future resilience building:...

Towards a whole-school approach to educating for hazard literacy to address the climate and environment emergency
Justin Dillon
J. Hazard Lit. 2025;1(2):e12
https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0029
In this paper, I show how my thinking about how school education should respond to some aspects of the major social and environmental issues facing society has changed over three decades. I conclude that while a radical reappraisal of the school science curriculum is much needed, there is also an urgent need for every school subject to contribute. I outline what contributions a number of subjects might make and suggest that school leaders, text-book writers and curriculum policy makers could stimulate thinking about how these contributions migh...

Improving El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) representations: an analysis of earth science I textbooks aligned with the 2015 revised curriculum
Jueun Lee , Hyemi Kim , Jong-Seong Kug
J. Hazard Lit. 2025;1(2):e9
https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0024
By analyzing five Earth Science I textbooks developed based on the 2015 Revised National Curriculum, this study examines content related to the “El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO),” a core concept in Earth Science. The analysis focuses on four key areas: the description of ENSO mechanisms, potential misconceptions caused by ENSO schematic diagrams, the depiction of ENSO’s global impacts, and inquiry activities related to ENSO. To address factors contributing to misconceptions in existing textbooks, an improved ENSO diagram is proposed...
