It is a worrisome fact that the Himalayan region is grappling with major demographic, environmental, geological and climatic challenges. As the risk of disasters is ever increasing in the region, 'Doers' is trying to prepare the local communities prepare for disasters and emergency situations through its initiative called 'Safety Through Emergency Preparedness (STEP)'. We encourage local communities and institutions (schools, colleges, resident associations, business groups, etc.) in Himachal Pradesh to join us in hosting 'Safety Through Emergency Preparedness (STEP)' workshops. If you are interested in hosting a STEP workshop in your community or institution, please write us an email at- step@doers.ngo.
