The COPE squad, Candy, Ollie, Ping and Eddy are a team of disaster risk reduction agents, travelling all over the world to teach children how to be ready and prepared for natural hazards and disasters. Make the difference, be ready!
Climate change can increase the intensity and, in some cases, the frequency of extreme environmental events, such as forest fires, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms.
COPE’s new adventure unfolds at Mount Merapi, Indonesia, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Children will learn what to do before a volcanic eruption and focus on the key message: Listen. Prepare. Stay aware.
