Rural schools face unique challenges during disasters due to distance, limited resources, and lack of infrastructure, making recovery and continued education significantly harder.
After disasters, rural students struggle with prolonged transportation issues, as repairs to roads and disrupted networks can take a year or more to resolve.
Unlike urban areas, rural districts lack nearby facilities to temporarily host classes post-disaster, severely affecting educational continuity and access.
The digital divide in rural areas exacerbates the effects of disasters, as students often face unreliable internet access, hampering the transition to online learning.
