Description
National governments need to increase disaster risk reduction efforts at the community level. The Desa Tangguh Resilient Village concept demonstrates how this can be done by government, donors and the community. Two good-practice case studies will be presented: T Shelter Action, where community groups, local government and the Yogyakarta Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction worked together to help the villages affected by the 2006 earthquake and 2010 volcano eruption; and how the communities in Padang reconstructed safer homes after the 2009 earthquake.
