Disasters and Development: A Peace Corps Pre-Service Training Module. Training for Development. Peace Corps Information Collection & Exchange Training Manual No. T-18.
INTERTECT, Dallas, TX.
This training module was developed for Peace Corps trainers overseas. It sets out step-by-step procedures for conducting a two-session introductory training program about natural disasters and their effects on development. The module uses four methods to provide trainees with a fundamental awareness of natural disasters and the roles Peace Corps volunteers can play: lecturettes, case study/play, structured group discussions, and handouts of printed reference materials. The module is organized in two parts. The first part describes the module and provides an assessment form. It also contains eight supplemental trainer references (information sheets). The second part of the module summarizes the module and provides information on conducting two training sessions on natural disasters and the role of Peace Corps volunteers in disaster mitigation and preparedness. Case studies, handouts, and assignments are included. Nine participant references (information sheets) are also included in this section. (KC)
