Abstract
‘Disaster education’ is a new area of enquiry in the field of education. At present there are few texts which deal directly with public education for emergencies (Shaw, Shiwaku and Takeuchi, 2011 being a notable exception). However, the pedagogical space for preparing the public for disasters is extensive and includes not only school based initiatives and public information campaigns but also family and community learning, adult education and popular culture (what we might consider to be ‘public pedagogies’). Moreover, with technological developments such as social media, citizen journalism and blogging there are increasingly sophisticated ways through which citizens might source information about disasters.KeywordsCommunity LearningPopular CultureHomeland SecurityCitizenship EducationCritical Race TheoryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
