Ribadesella Community Resilience in Spain
Talks and Workshops on community self-protection and community resilience
Description
Neighborhood associations are the nuclear entity of dissemination in the small towns, which, far from the main emergency systems, require an additional effort in their self-protection preparation in order to be less vulnerable. The inclusion of the greatest number of associations and therefore of towns, will allow us to reach the greatest possible number of people directly.
Did the Sendai Framework change or contribute to changes in your activities/organization? If so, how?
The Sendai Framework is for us, an ideal framework to apply to the risk of small-scale, frequent and
infrequent, sudden and slow-onset disasters, caused by natural or manmade hazards as well, in tune with our local goals
as related environmental, technological and biological hazards and risks.
It aims to guide the multi-hazard management of disaster risk in
development at all levels as well as within and across all sectors
What led you to make this commitment/initiative?
What was your position before making this Voluntary Commitment / prior to the Sendai Framework?
We took this initiative after understanding the need to bring updated information on self-protection against disasters to local environments.
