Community based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) aims to 1) reduce vulnerabilities and increase capacities of vulnerable groups to cope with disasters, 2) minimize human suffering, and 3) hasten recovery. CBDRR covers interventions designed by at-risk local communities based on their needs and capacities. Through CBDRR, communities can become more disaster resilient by withstanding and recovering from natural and socio-economic shocks. Key indicators of resilience include safety, livelihood security, and sustainable development.
