Empowering Children in Pacific Islands with Knowledge for Safer Futures
At COPE Disaster Champions, we believe that education is a vital pillar of early warning systems. When children understand hazards and know how to respond, early warnings become even more powerful tools for saving lives.
That’s why we are proud to collaborate with the Pacific Islands meteorological community, with the support of the World Meteorological Organization, to expand access to COPE’s disaster education materials.
In celebration of World Meteorological Day 2026, COPE books are being translated into Niuean and Tokelauan with the support of the Pacific Leaders Weather Ready Pacific Program, Niue Meteorological Service and Tokelau Meteorological Service, and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP).
Together, these efforts are helping bring life-saving knowledge to more children and communities across the Pacific.
Please keep an eye on this space — a school launch event is coming soon, and we look forward to sharing more with you.
Our free illustrated books teach children about hazards such as floods, cyclones, and tsunamis, and explain how to prepare, respond, and stay safe when disasters strike. By making these resources available in local languages, we help ensure that critical safety messages reach children in ways that are meaningful and accessible.
Education strengthens early warnings.
When children learn how disasters work and what actions to take, they become confident COPE disaster champions in their families and communities.
