| Sumario: | Natural disasters are increasing in frequency and magnitude in various regions of the planet, aggravated above all by climate change. This causes material losses and damage to human life, which represents an emergency in understanding these disasters in order to act to mitigate and adapt to them. Disaster Risk Reduction Education (DRRE) is an essential tool for raising awareness and preparedness. In geography, this topic is fundamental, as it integrates physical and social aspects, helping students understand environmental risks and their relationship with society. An effective approach is the use of school cartography, especially through StoryMaps—interactive maps that combine text, images, and videos—which can aid in understanding concepts related to natural disasters. This tool makes learning more accessible and connects scientific knowledge with local experiences. Linked to the Professional Master's Degree in Geography in the National Network (PROFGEO/UFSM), this study aims to carry out a pedagogical practice focused on DRRE in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, in elementary school, for storytelling and students' perceptions of the natural disasters that occurred in 2024 in Rio Grande do Sul. Using a qualitative approach, this project is presented through action research, which is an empirical social investigation whose objective is linked to the resolution or development of awareness about a collective problem. The target audience is at EMEF Padre Nóbrega, a school in the municipality of Santa Maria-RS, located in the Nossa Senhora das Dores neighborhood. The students who participated in the research are 6th grade elementary school students. The project was developed in stages, planned to be carried out in five classes, which were: assessment of prior knowledge, portfolio application, creation of StoryMaps, and validation. The results show that students have prior knowledge about natural disasters, especially flooding. It was also found that many were directly or indirectly affected by the events that occurred in 2024 and reported having followed the news reported by the media. The participants demonstrated the ability to articulate scientific knowledge with their experiences by relating the contents of the portfolio to situations already observed in Santa Maria. In the StoryMaps development phase, they revealed familiarity with the use of geotechnologies and searched for images, videos, and news reports on the internet. It was observed that the students placed little emphasis on personal experiences, prioritizing the presentation of events that occurred in other municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul. The time available was a limiting factor for the completion of the activity, since it was not possible to present each group's work to the other classmates, which made it impossible to correct mistakes. The dissertation contributed to the field of Geography Education by integrating geotechnologies and school cartography into actions related to DRRE. |
