Bhutan's capital is advancing its EQ readiness. In a 2-day workshop to update Thimphu Thromde Disaster Management & Contingency Plan, the mayor & 27 stakeholders reviewed potential EQ consequences & developed an action plan based on our team’s risk assessment analysis. @Verisk
We collaborated with the Department of School Education, Ministry of Education & Skills Development of Bhutan, & conducted a 2-day fire safety training for school disaster focal teachers & 6 school captains from 30 boarding schools for 5 Dzongkhags (Districts) on 9-10 Sept 2023.
During a recent fire safety training for boarding schools in Bhutan, we visited Wangdigatshel school where, with our corporate funder Verisk's assistance, we were able to see that the EQ desks engineered as a lifesaving device were being used throughout all classrooms. @druk_art
