Video Production Committee meeting [Bangladesh]
On 30th November, an online meeting of the video production committee for DRR awareness was held to develop a video on DRR during the second year of the project. A total of nine people participated in the meeting, including the Public Relation Officer of the Dhaka North City Corporation, headmaster of the project’s Model Academy, director of the video production company and members of the press.
The video focuses on four topics: fire, heavy rain, air pollution and COVID-19, with a emphasis on disasters that particularly occur in Dhaka city. The contents of the video will be created based on the actual situation of local communities regarding measures that need to be taken for the five phases of emergency management: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and restoration. It also includes advice on the utilization of basic DRR infrastructure and the significance of “town watching” activity.
Facebook is estimated to have more than 40 million users in Bangladesh, and the video is aimed to be disseminated to the public not only through the regular media, but also through such social media.
