Two years ago, Shahida witnessed how Cyclone Sidr hit her hometown in Bangladesh. 

Now, at 14 and thanks to Save the Children, she is prepared if nature decides to strike again. 

“I now know the concept of a disaster. What it is, and what the different kinds are and so on. And I know what the different sea signals mean. I have learnt it all in school and I have taught my parents what to do.

"Of all the things we have learned about disasters, I think disaster preparedness is the most important. Now we have a plan and we know what to do if a disaster happens. Yesterday, for example, I told my aunt and uncle about this and they will share it with other people.”
