Community-Based Disaster Risk Management

Community-Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) is a proactive approach that empowers local communities to assess and address their own disaster risks. It involves engaging residents in identifying hazards, vulnerabilities, and resources, enabling them to develop and implement strategies for mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. By fostering local knowledge and mobilizing community strengths, CBDRM helps build resilience against disasters, ensuring that responses are tailored to the specific needs and contexts of the community. Ultimately, it promotes self-reliance and enhances the ability to recover from crises effectively.
