Abstract
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has gained its strong recognition due to the increased loss and damages of human life and economic assets caused by the impact of natural hazards and through the evolution of the international discussion on DRR. DRRE (DRR education) is local, and should be customized based on the local conditions. Some examples cited in the chapter shows innovations in DRRE. All the examples point out that there is need for a facilitator [either an individual or an organization], which can bring innovations in DRRE. The success of these innovations is in linking with the local government, which can take forward these activities in future. DRRE is not a stand-alone topic, it needs to be linked to the education governance. The chapter provides some examples of education governance and its measurement over a period of time. That helps in prioritizing the activities of the local education board base don the local conditions.
