Summary
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.
Embark on a thrilling journey with the COPE Squad as they travel the snowy landscapes and backcountry of New Zealand, accompanied by weather experts, to learn about avalanches and share the knowledge with local communities and schools, emphasizing the key message: Know before you go!
