L'aide en cas de catastrophe du point de vue des jeunes | Aaron Shen | TEDxAlmansorParkStudio

Les catastrophes font des victimes en un instant, mais les jeunes sont souvent absents des débats sur l'aide d'urgence. Cette intervention TEDxAlmansorParkStudio d'Aaron Shen explore comment de petits gestes, comme le don de fournitures, peuvent donner aux jeunes une voix dans les efforts de secours. Il y présente la Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), une initiative menée par des jeunes sur la santé publique, la préparation aux urgences et la sécurité communautaire. Selon la description, la coalition a fait don de près de 150 000 articles depuis janvier 2025 et organisé 30 ateliers dans le comté de Los Angeles.

Disasters kill in an instant. Yet, with the large magnitude and scale of this devastation, youth are always left out of the conversation. This talk explores how small acts of kindness—like donating supplies—can help youth reclaim their voice in disaster relief. Through starting the Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), I show how youth can rise up to create tangible change and build with, not for, communities. It's a call to be the next generation of YOUth: students, advocates, and changemakers. Aaron Shen is the founder of the Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), a youth-led initiative that promotes public health, emergency preparedness, community safety, and civic engagement. Since January of 2025, PHSYC has donated nearly 150,000 disaster relief items to communities affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires and underserved families internationally, including Indigenous families in Mexico and Venezuelan earthquake refugees. Through 30 workshops across Los Angeles County, Aaron has empowered more than 430 Title I students with essential emergency preparedness knowledge. By advancing disaster resilience and equitable access to public safety resources, Aaron empowers youth to create meaningful change in their communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
