This document summarizes community-based disaster risk reduction and management (CBDRRM) activities conducted in Nepal as part of the Project for Assessment of Earthquake Disaster Risk in the Kathmandu Valley. The activities included 3-day training for municipality officers, workshops to create hazard maps and emergency plans for selected wards, and prepositioning of emergency supplies for one ward. The goals were to enhance community capacities for disaster preparedness and response through participatory mapping, planning and resource management at the local level.

3. What is CBDRRM?
(Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management)
Self-help
by yourself
Mutual-help
in community
Public-help
by government
To enhance capacities of community and community
members to respond and to prepare for disasters
Actors of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
4. 4
Why CBDRRM is required?(1)
• Need proper knowledge on risks and
actions to be taken in case of disasters for
the community member
Community members are the first
responder of disasters. Initial response at
the first stage sometimes determines
results of disasters
• Need pre-coordination and preparation
among community members and with
other stakeholder
Mutual help can make big differences in
the result of disasters
• Need involvement community members
in the DRRM planning
Local knowledge is indispensable for the
effective disaster risk management
including policy planning
• Need enhancing community’s awareness
for the importance of their own initiatives
Initiatives of community people have an
impact on prompt recovery from damages
and making community resilient to future
disasters

77% of the rescued people (approx. 35,000) were saved by
families or neighbors in case of Great Hanshin-Awaji EQ
(occurred in 1995 in Japan).
Enhancement of mutual help capacities can make
big differences for saving people’s lives

CBDRRM Activities for Promotion of Implementation of
the SFDRR (Sendai Framework for DRR)
Priority 2: Disaster Risk GovernancePriority 1: Understanding Disaster Risk
Build the knowledge of communities
Use local knowledge and practices in
disaster risk assessment and policy
planning and implementation.
Promote national strategies to strengthen
public awareness in DRR
Enhance collaboration to disseminate
disaster risk information through the
involvement of community-based
organizations.
Assign clear roles to community
representatives in the decision-making
process for DRRM
Empower local authorities through
financial means to work and coordinate
with communities in DRRM at the local
level
Priority 4: Enhancing Disaster Preparedness
for Effective Response and to BBB
Establish community centres for the
promotion of public awareness and the
stockpiling of necessary materials
8. 8
Unnecessary evacuation actions and a lot of rumor and wrong
information disseminated among residents after the Gorkha
Earthquake, . -> Proper knowledge on earthquake should be
understood by residents
Inactive of the CDMC established before the earthquake ->
Sustainability of the CBDRRM activities should be considered
Implementation of the CBDRRM activities in the limited areas ->
Systematic implementation as regular program by the municipality
is necessary
Good CBDRRM guideline “minimum characteristics” developed by
the flagship 4 of the NRRC -> Utilization and continuous update of
the guideline as a national basic guide is necessary

14. Outcomes of the 1st Workshop:
Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment
Ward 8, Lalitpur
SUMMARY OF THE ASSESSMENT
(the case of Ward 8, Lalitpur)
• People of Ward-8 seems to be vulnerable to
earthquake and fire, since the settlement pattern
is quite traditional with narrow alleys and compact
houses.
• The Ward consists capacities regarding water
sources in almost every communities but the
sources are not well protected.
• The community seems less sensitized on disaster
preparedness and response plans. Furthermore,
they need to develop DRR plan incorporating plans
for proper mobilization of available resources and
capacities.

Do you think this kind of activities can be
replicated in other wards in your municipality
or in other parts of Nepal?
The project workshops and activities have motivated
CDMC and developed positive attitude towards
CBDRRM activities.
Direct participation of community people themselves
and use of participatory tools like town watching is
very good and I think this has turned workshops
fruitful.
CDMC must disseminate knowledge to each
households, communities and schools. Otherwise
there will be no use of knowledge gained by CDMC
members.
Due to the limitation of budget and
institutionalization, activities related to DRR
preparedness and implementation is difficult to
conduct in the ward but the ward office is planning to
allocate the budget endorsing Ward Level DRM plan
in Municipality annual planning.
Still may need expert help and consultant to develop
other DRR packages at community. Community had
positive attitude towards workshops and disaster
related activities, this enthusiasm will continue
activities.
24. 24
Update and promote of the guideline for the CBDRRM activities, such as
“Minimum Characteristics of a Disaster Resilient Community in Nepal”
proposed by the NRRC Flagship 4
Ensure sound understanding and active involvement of the
representatives of the wards about the CBDRRM activities
Consider promotion of the collaboration between the existing
community groups and the CDMC
Secure budget for the involvement of the NGOs or other organizations
for the support of the implementation of the CBDRRM activities
To Municipality
Provide regular opportunities of the training for learning CBDRRM
activities as well as the DRRM matters to municipality officers
Increase the number of the municipality officers in charge of DRRM
Ensure sustainable involvement of CBDRRM activities by the
municipality
Increase allocation of the regular budget for sustainable CBDRRM
activities

Future CBDRRM Activities
