IsraAID Dominica Launches Interactive Online Learning Module for Students on Disaster Preparedness

IsraAID Dominica is thrilled to announce the launch pilot of its innovative online learning software, Kay and Kelan Can Prepare for Different Hazards, an educational tool designed to teach young learners about disaster preparedness. This interactive module is based on the previously developed activity book of the same name and is specifically tailored to address flood preparedness in its initial phase.

The pilot program, which begins this January, will span five weeks and engage Grade 4

students from eight schools across Dominica. It will test both the usability of the app and its effectiveness in enhancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) in education. The results of this pilot will help guide the improvement and expansion of this software. The participating schools include:

• Roseau Primary School

• Roosevelt Douglas School

• Soufriere Primary School

• Bagatelle Primary School

• Castle Bruce Primary School

• San Sauveur Primary School

• Kelleb John Laurent Primary School

• Colihaut Primary School

To celebrate this significant endeavour, IsraAID will host a live game launch event, and we are delighted to invite members of the media for live coverage, an opportunity to ask questions and learn more. This event will highlight the software’s features, its integration into disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts, and the broader impact it aims to achieve.

As part of this initiative, school principals will receive important tokens for their schools, including megaphones, fire extinguishers, and safety vests—reinforcing the commitment to equipping schools with practical tools for disaster management. IsraAID remains committed to supporting communities in becoming climate resilient through initiatives that span education, disaster preparedness, and sustainable livelihoods. By equipping individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need, IsraAID is helping pave the way for a more secure and sustainable future in Dominica.
