OBJECTIVES: This paper describes the design and evaluation of a workshop created to develop safer disaster response strategies for fishing communities, using the 2019 Northeast Brazil Oil Spill as a starting point for community-engaged education.
METHODS: The 3-day pilot workshop included presentations, structured discussions, and interactive activities with small-scale fishers (SSFs), university researchers, and representatives of local government agencies. The workshop was evaluated through a mixed-method approach that considered qualitative data from discussion groups, collectively built products, and content retention. Evaluation methods were designed to contribute to participant learning while collecting information to improve the workshop's design.
RESULTS: The workshop succeeded in identifying harm reduction strategies for SSFs in the face of chemical spills, as well as in connecting them with government agencies that can provide support. Feedback from facilitators and participants was largely positive, emphasizing the accessibility of the event, participant enthusiasm, and the importance of the content for SSFs' safety. In evaluating content retention, nearly all content was understood and could be explained effectively by the SSF participants. Products of the workshop that the community can refer to in the future include community-produced videos about safety in encounters with petrochemicals and two flowcharts that outline disaster response strategies.
CONCLUSION: Community education and participatory frameworks support rich learning experiences around community health, with benefits for researchers and SSF participants. This workshop built on experiences from the 2019 oil spill to develop safer chemical spill response strategies that consider resource availability in the target community. Future events could build from this base to prepare for other kinds of disasters, like floods and storms. This event aims to reduce harm to SSFs, but government and professional first responder support remains essential to ensure safe disaster response due to a lack of safe, accessible protocols for such events.
