Communities of Practice in Disaster Management

Communities of Practice in Disaster Management are groups of people—such as emergency responders, policymakers, and local community members—who share knowledge, experiences, and strategies to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. By collaborating and learning from each other, these groups improve their skills, develop best practices, and coordinate efforts more effectively. This continuous exchange helps create more resilient communities by ensuring everyone is informed, prepared, and able to work together efficiently during emergencies.
