Through scenarios simulation to hands-on operations, the Tzu Chi Foundation (Tzu Chi) and the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) collaborate to organize the 2020 International Training Workshop - Youth Leadership Camp on Disaster Risk Management (2020 ITW) focusing on capacity building for disaster preparedness. Youth can play an important role in disaster preparedness and response. The on-site operations are designed to empower future leaders with the capacity of situation assessment, decision making, operation and deployment. The challenging missions during the whole evet, including on smart disaster risk management and strategic process, will be the highlights of the training on information intelligence and delivery of humanitarian assistance in case of emergency operations of a scenario earthquake. Tzu Chi and NCDR, the workshop organizers, are looking for meeting college junior, senior, graduate and post graduate international students majoring in disaster management or relevant disciplines who are enthusiastic fast learners with mobility and creativity to join the training. The expected goals of the 4-day training program are aimed at your capacity building on:

1. Understanding of disasters from impacts to operations,
2. Observing the needs of the affected people ,
3. Picturing the "situation awareness" as if you were one of the affected after an earthquake and could suffer from its aftermaths; alternatively, you play a role of leader by finding feasible solutions and allocating resources to tackle each challenge,
4. Streamlining the data, photo and information collected for situation assessment on cross-cutting issues for disaster communications,
5. Mobilizing the tangible and intangible resources for emergency preparedness,
6. Integrating team efforts on the scenario simulation for operations, and
7. Delivering effective and efficient operation.
