5 Pillars of Mine Action: Explosive Ordnance Risk Education

Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) refers to educational activities aimed at reducing the risk of injury from explosive ordnance, including mines and unexploded ordnance by raising awareness and promoting behavioral change through public-information campaigns, education and training, and liaison with communities.

EORE ensures that communities are aware of these risks and are encouraged to behave in ways that reduce the risk to people, property and the environment. Objectives are to reduce the risk to a level where people can live safely and to recreate an environment where economic and social development can occur free from the constraints imposed by explosive hazard contamination.
