Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction

Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) involves local communities actively identifying potential hazards, vulnerabilities, and resources to reduce their risks from disasters like floods, earthquakes, or storms. It emphasizes local knowledge, participation, and collaboration to develop practical strategies for preparedness, response, and resilience. By empowering residents and fostering partnerships with organizations, CBDRR aims to create safer, more resilient communities that can better anticipate, cope with, and recover from disasters. It recognizes that effective disaster risk management requires local insights and collective action at the grassroots level.
