About

The article describes a study on teaching hearing-impaired children how to prepare for earthquakes. It uses a randomized quasi-experimental trial to test the effectiveness of the training program. The goal is to help these children understand what to do during an earthquake, keeping them safe in emergencies. By using special methods suited for their needs, the program aims to improve their knowledge and readiness compared to those who did not receive this training. The results show that such programs can be beneficial in helping hearing-impaired children learn important safety skills for natural disasters like earthquakes.
