Community based disaster risk management

This training will be delivered following the community based disaster risk management (CBDRM) framework. This approach basically looks at the possibilities to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks in a society to prevent or mitigate the adverse impacts of hazards. These set of activities are within the broad context of sustainable development which will be covered during the initial part of the course. The purpose is to clarify the basic concept of CBDRM and examine the new practices.

The next part of the training will cover the essential tools for implementing the various stages in CBDRM and looks at strengthening community participation in the risk reduction process.
