International Federation of the Red Cross carried out a workshop on disaster awareness and management last week that was described as an eye-opener by the participants from the member countries.

About 40 participants from 14 Pacific Island countries attended the week-long workshop at the Pacific Theological College at Veiuto.

Some of the participants said it was an opportunity for them to improve their communication skills and learn how to go about using it in an emergency.

This year's theme for the forum was 'Surviving disaster management'.
