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.
1. The document discusses different levels of hazards, risks, disasters and emergencies ranging from incidents and disasters to catastrophes.
2. It outlines the theoretical basis for emergency planning and management, including key concepts like resilience, and characteristics of large emergencies.
3. The document also covers the organization of emergency management from the local to international levels and challenges around balancing centralized control with decentralized community responses.
Emergencies create challenging environments due to complex interactions between causes and effects. Organizational, political, natural, social, and technical systems can all be impacted. Vulnerabilities arise from a variety of sources including economic issues, technological risks, social problems, and lack of modernization or changes in circumstances. Effective disaster risk reduction requires integrated efforts across science and public administration, as well as knowledge of hazards, community vulnerabilities, and coping capacities. Technology can both reduce risks through tools like early warning systems, but also introduce new vulnerabilities. Societal and cultural factors also influence how technologies are developed and risks are perceived and managed. Recovery from disaster has political dimensions along with technical rebuilding challenges.
The document outlines the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' (IFRC) Strategy 2020. It summarizes the achievements and lessons learned from Strategy 2010.

Disaster Risk Reduction Versus Disaster Management July 10, 2011RustyBinas
1) Disaster risk reduction aims to build resilience and self-reliance in communities by reducing risks, while disaster management focuses on emergency response and saving lives in the event of a hazard.
2) Disaster risk reduction emphasizes addressing the root causes of risk through activities like ensuring human rights and reducing vulnerabilities. Disaster management concentrates on contingency planning and mobilizing resources for relief efforts.
3) According to the document, disaster risk reduction is more strategic and sustainable because it makes communities resilient in the long-run by building their capacities to cope with hazards internally.
Emergency management involves many stakeholders at different levels who influence policy decisions. At the local level, the main stakeholder groups are social groups like households and community organizations, economic groups like businesses, and political groups including local government agencies. These stakeholders have varying degrees of power and interests relating to emergency management. It is important for emergency managers to understand the different stakeholders and involve them throughout the emergency management process.
The document discusses lessons learned from the Indonesian Red Cross (IRC) on disaster risk reduction. It outlines the IRC's organizational structure and activities at the national, provincial, and local levels. It emphasizes an integrated approach to disaster management focusing on preparedness, mitigation and building community resilience. Key strategies discussed include training community teams, risk assessment, early warning systems, and economic resilience programs. The IRC also works with various partners through coordination and knowledge sharing networks.
This document discusses community participation in disaster management. It defines participation as the active involvement of people in decisions that affect them. Participatory approaches are valuable as they allow communities to explain their priorities and vulnerabilities, build on local knowledge and expertise, strengthen communities, and accord with peoples' right to participate. There are two main approaches - guided participation where projects are initiated externally but involve communities, and people-centered participation which aims to empower communities and involve them in defining problems, solutions, implementation and evaluation. Operational issues with participation include the difficulty of managing the process while not undermining its purpose.

Dipecho v news letter 5th edition- march10edmnepal
The document discusses capacity building efforts for disaster risk reduction in Nepal. It describes several organizations' projects that focus on building the capacities of communities, local governments, and other stakeholders. Key points:
- Action Aid's project enhances knowledge and skills through trainings, develops community disaster management committees, orients local leaders on disaster risk reduction, and advocates for stronger policies.
- CARE's project builds communities' capacities for risk reduction through its SAMADHAN project.
- Several other organizations like Danish Red Cross, Handicap International, Mercy Corps, etc. also undertake capacity building initiatives through community trainings, strengthening local systems, and scaling up early warning systems.
Community-based disaster management (CBDM) is an approach to building community capacity to assess vulnerabilities to hazards, develop strategies to prevent and mitigate impacts, and respond to and recover from disasters using local resources. Effective CBDM requires communities to be aware of risks, understand potential impacts, accept personal responsibility, and take action during warnings. It also requires partnerships between communities and outside organizations, community participation in all phases, empowerment of local people, and a sense of community ownership.
This document discusses principles of effective communication for disaster risk reduction. It begins by explaining that communication with communities is important so they understand hazards and risks, and can take protective measures. However, past approaches often failed to understand community perspectives and priorities. Effective communication now involves dialogue with communities to understand their experiences and ensure solutions are appropriate. While expertise from professionals is still valuable, a participatory approach that incorporates community knowledge is most effective. The goal of public education programs should be to create a "culture of safety" where risk reduction is a normal part of life, though achieving this takes a long-term process.
NDCC Memo Circular No. 05 s 2007 (2) Cluster ApproachTudlo
The document outlines the institutionalization of the cluster approach in the Philippine disaster management system. It designates government agencies as cluster leads at the national, regional, and provincial levels to help coordinate disaster response efforts. The roles and responsibilities of cluster leads include developing strategies, conducting needs assessments, ensuring preparedness, and coordinating with partners. The aim is to improve response effectiveness through clear leadership and accountability across key sectors during humanitarian emergencies.
This document summarizes a participatory disaster risk reduction project in Nepal supported by the European Commission. The project is implemented by seven international partners across 22 districts in Nepal and aims to enhance the capacity of vulnerable communities to respond to disasters. Key initiatives include awareness campaigns reaching over 500,000 people, training 1,900 volunteers, forming disaster management committees, conducting vulnerability assessments, establishing early warning systems, and small-scale mitigation projects. Challenges include security issues restricting movement and a lack of resources. Moving forward, the project emphasizes institutionalizing disaster risk reduction and integrating it with development programs.
1) The document discusses knowledge management as an integral part of sustainability in community development projects. It argues that knowledge gained from projects is often not institutionalized, resulting in the loss of technical knowledge when projects end.
2) It proposes a framework for integrating knowledge management into projects that includes promoting community practices, managing community knowledge, and translating community memory into institutional practices.
3) Key challenges identified include personal mobility versus institutionalization of knowledge, lack of links between community activities and research, and limited networking and sharing of best practices.
Knowledge management a practical inquiry into knowledge gap, local practice ...Munas Kalden
The knowledge management is an integral part of sustainability process. It becomes pivotal in any community based development project. The knowledge society contributes to quality inputs and cascades the benefits to the next generations. It is an intellectual heritage; it ought to be owned and translated into development activities by the beneficiary community.
Dipecho v news letter 6th edition- april10edmnepal
The document discusses advocacy efforts by DIPECHO partners in Nepal to promote disaster risk reduction. It mentions:
1) The partners work together on joint advocacy initiatives such as marking international days like UNISDR day and Earthquake Safety Day to raise awareness and pressure the government to prioritize DRR.
2) They are producing advocacy tools like a documentary and radio programs focusing on Nepal's National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management and the Hyogo Framework to underline Nepal's DRR commitments.
3) Individual partners like ActionAid, CARE Nepal, Danish Red Cross are also advocating to influence policies and practices at national and local levels to mainstream DRR and ensure vulnerable people's rights are protected in policies
This document presents good practices in community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRM) identified by Mercy Corps based on its experience working in flood-prone areas in Nepal. It outlines 10 thematic areas of good practice, including street drama, bottom-up planning, emergency funds, education materials, search and rescue teams, bioengineering, social inclusion, capacity building, school safety, and early warning systems. For each practice, it provides an example and important lessons learned, such as involving communities and ensuring materials are accessible. The overall goal is to encourage knowledge sharing to benefit vulnerable communities.
Paper looks at whether education or engagement will help build community disaster resilience. It shows that both are required and should be interrelated to help communities learn to build disaster resilience. The paper also promotes social media as an emerging mechanism for disaster education and engagement activities.
Social capital report of norms, networks, and trust [low res]URRworkshop
This document summarizes a report on the role of social capital in community resilience. It finds that social capital, defined as networks, norms and social trust, plays a fundamental role in community resilience. Case studies from Nepal, China and Myanmar show how social capital helped communities cope with disasters by supporting each other. While the Red Cross has implicitly built social capital through volunteerism and community projects, tools to assess social capital could be strengthened. The report recommends sensitizing staff on social capital, conducting more thorough vulnerability assessments, enhancing baseline surveys to measure social capital, and streamlining tools to better reinforce community resilience over the long term.
1) Community-based disaster management (CBDM) empowers local communities to manage risks and disasters through their participation in prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery efforts.
2) Case studies of CBDM programs in several Asian countries found that key factors for success included meaningful community participation, capacity building, training, and integrating projects into long-term development plans.
3) Examples of CBDM programs discussed include rebuilding efforts after earthquakes in India and Afghanistan, retrofitting schools to make them earthquake resilient, and developing construction guidelines and training masons.
The document summarizes findings and recommendations from consultations with communities and humanitarian actors in the Pacific region ahead of the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit. It identifies key themes to improve humanitarian effectiveness, including: designing interventions in partnership with communities; localizing preparedness and response; strengthening disaster legislation; and empowering marginalized groups. It stresses the importance of community-led responses, supporting local organizations, and addressing gender and inclusion challenges.
Disasters can be natural or man-made events that cause great damage and disruption. GIS and remote sensing tools play an important role in disaster management by allowing agencies to share geographic information on hazards, infrastructure, and vulnerable areas to facilitate planning, response, and recovery. Effective disaster warning systems that communicate risk to communities allow them to take protective actions and mitigate impacts.
Community Based Adaptation, Principles And Practices, 2011Charles Ehrhart
Community-based Adaptation (CBA) aims to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities in both the short and long term. It is a community-led approach that complements top-down planning while keeping communities at the center. CBA values both tangible infrastructure projects and intangible investments in community empowerment. It employs practices like promoting climate-resilient livelihoods, disaster risk management, and advocacy to address the underlying social causes of vulnerability. CBA is guided by human rights principles of non-discrimination, participation, empowerment, and accountability.
1. Community-based adaptation (CBA) aims to reduce climate change impacts on vulnerable communities in both the short and long term. It is targeted and focused, addressing both tangible infrastructure ("hardware") and intangible capacity building ("software").
2. CBA is community-led and complements top-down planning. It values participation, empowerment, and accountability based on human rights principles. Common CBA practices include climate-resilient livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, and advocacy to address underlying vulnerabilities.
3. While CBA frequently involves natural resource management, it rarely takes a holistic ecosystem approach. Developing complementary "ecosystem principles" for CBA could help ensure adaptation
The project has contributed to achieving the priority actions of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) in several ways. It established Disaster Preparedness Committees (DPCs) in six communities to identify risks and develop early warning systems. Financial transparency was maintained through social audits. Emergency funds helped communities conduct preparedness activities. Linking community and village development committee disaster plans helped secure resources. The project identified physical, attitudinal and social risks through vulnerability assessments. Early warning information from the meteorology department was disseminated through local messengers and radio. Simulations helped build knowledge of evacuation procedures.

The document discusses the relationship between development and disaster risk reduction. It explains that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters, and that disasters can either provide opportunities for development or set back development. It advocates for a people-centered approach to development that reduces vulnerability through building resilience, livelihoods, and local capacities. Key strategies discussed include prioritizing adaptation efforts, integrating adaptation into development plans, strengthening local capacities, and leveraging disaster prevention to promote community-based adaptation.
A disaster is defined as any event, natural or man-made, that threatens lives and property and disrupts normal life. Disasters exceed the ability of affected communities and governments to cope. Hazards threaten people, structures, and assets and can cause disasters. Vulnerability is the likelihood of damage from a hazard due to factors like proximity and susceptibility. Risk is the probability of consequences from hazards people are exposed to. Disaster management involves coordination across organizations in preparedness, response, and recovery phases of disasters to reduce risks and improve capacity to handle disasters.
The document discusses the relationship between development and disasters. It notes that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters. Development can increase vulnerability by encouraging population growth in hazardous areas and damaging the environment. However, development can also reduce vulnerability through infrastructure like earthquake-resistant buildings. While disasters can disrupt development, they can also provide opportunities for rebuilding safer structures and improving systems. Overall, the document examines how development and disasters intersect and influence each other in both positive and negative ways.
This document discusses how climate change is disproportionately impacting poor women in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Field research found that women in these countries are struggling to protect their livelihoods, assets, housing, and food security from increasing floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other climate-related disasters. While women are not passive victims, their limited resources, weak information networks, and lack of support constrain their ability to adapt. The evidence suggests women have started adapting in small ways like finding safer places to live and store goods during floods. However, larger investments and policy support are needed to make their livelihoods more resilient and sustainable over the long term. The document calls for targeted funding for poor women through climate change adaptation
This report summarizes interviews conducted with children in Nepal about the impacts of climate change on their lives. It finds that climate change is already affecting vulnerable communities through increased floods, landslides and irregular weather. Children interviewed in rural, mountain and urban areas of Nepal expressed experiencing impacts on their families' livelihoods, health, education, and access to food and water. They feel vulnerable but want support to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. The report recommends ensuring children's rights to participation in climate change discussions and decisions that affect their lives.
The document summarizes a panel discussion held by the Association of Community Radio Broadcasters Nepal (ACORAB) on disaster risk reduction and community radio. Over 135 representatives from community radio stations across Nepal attended. The objective was to sensitize stations on DRR issues so they can effectively address them. A panel of experts presented on the status of disasters in Nepal, community-level DRR initiatives, and how media can contribute to DRR. Participants discussed how community radios and organizations like DPNet and Red Cross can collaborate more on DRR. Examples were shared of radios informing communities during disasters and helping victims, and calls were made to replicate such initiatives for greater impact. The discussion aimed to help community radio stations strategize
1) The document discusses a school building reconstruction project in Sunsari district to improve earthquake safety and security.
2) The project involved renovating existing buildings and constructing new earthquake-resistant buildings at Bhagawati Secondary School in Inaruwa-1 as a demonstration model.
3) Key aspects of the new building construction included two rooms measuring 16 feet by 23 feet, a total height of 49 feet, and features like railings and ramps to improve accessibility.
- Small scale mitigation works were carried out in Sunsari district to address drinking water problems experienced by communities during the monsoon season.
- A total of 28 structures such as tube wells were constructed across multiple locations in consultation with locally formed disaster management committees.
- The structures were 5 meters in height and designed based on discussions with the communities about where flooding typically occurred and input from local technicians.
- Community members contributed through provision of labor and materials while funds were also received from DIPECHO and local government sources to complete the projects.
1) Rambati, a woman from Karkhana Tole village in Sunsari, Nepal, recalls a devastating flood in 1990 when she had just given birth and had to stay in a dangling bed for two days without much food.
2) The village is prone to frequent flooding and other disasters that damage homes and crops. There was no disaster management system previously.
3) With support from a local NGO, the community formed a disaster management committee and began collecting "fistfuls of rice" daily to stockpile food for emergencies. Rambati is an active participant in these efforts.
The community initially had misunderstandings about the relief distribution from PACT Nepal, with people saying PACT would provide each household Rs. 50,000 and a bag of grain. However, after regular meetings between PACT staff and the community to explain PACT's objectives and that it does not provide direct cash relief, the community now understands PACT's role is to build disaster resilience, not provide cash. The community disaster management committee now clarifies any issues themselves. Regular interaction through the community listening center helped address the initial challenges around project implementation.
1) A total of 2,600 meters of bioengineering riverbank protection works were completed in Bahardar tole of Babiya-8, Sunsari, exceeding the original plan of 1,000 meters due to community demand.
2) The works provided protection to 58 households from annual flooding and erosion of the Sunkoshi River, allowing families to invest in livelihoods without risk of loss of property.
3) The project was implemented through cooperation between the local development committee, disaster management office, and local construction committee with technical support from NGO partners and voluntary labor from the community.
The document summarizes an orientation program on disaster management for children in Nepal. It discusses forming child clubs in 7 communities to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and management among children. The 3-day program educated over 475 children on disaster types, reducing risks, and children's roles and rights during disasters. It resulted in the creation of 7 child club committees to discuss disasters and mobilize awareness campaigns under the guidance of Disaster Management Committees.
1. A 1-day orientation was held for masons on earthquake safety day to train them on constructing safe buildings.
2. The objectives were to inform masons about earthquake safety day, make them aware of building safely, and create an environment for cooperation in safe construction.
3. A total of 30 masons from 3 locations participated and were committed to start constructing earthquake-resistant buildings and follow building codes and standards.
1. The document outlines minimum standards for education in emergencies, protracted crises, and early recovery. It aims to ensure the right to education for all during humanitarian crises.
2. The Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) developed the standards through a collaborative process, drawing on the expertise of over 20 organizations.
3. The standards cover key areas like community participation, assessment, education policy and coordination to help advocate for, support and implement education during humanitarian emergencies. INEE welcomes new members to help advance these goals.
The document provides context about a cost-benefit analysis conducted for a disaster risk reduction project in Kailali, Nepal. It describes the project, called the Kailali Disaster Risk Reduction Initiative (KDRRI), which was implemented from 2007-2009 in communities vulnerable to flooding. The analysis had two goals: 1) to assess the cost-effectiveness of the KDRRI project and 2) to create a generalizable methodology for evaluating community-based disaster risk reduction projects. Data was collected through surveys and interviews and analyzed using a mathematical model. The analysis found benefit-cost ratios greater than one, indicating the economic benefits of the project exceeded the costs. Specifically, the ratio was estimated to be 3.49, meaning
The document discusses disaster management in Nepal, with a focus on community-based approaches.
Key points:
- Nepal is vulnerable to various natural hazards like floods, landslides, droughts, and earthquakes due to its geology, topography, and climate. Disasters disproportionately impact the poor.
- A livelihood-centered approach to disaster management aims to strengthen communities' resilience by supporting their livelihoods and reducing vulnerabilities. This includes activities like hazard mapping, early warning systems, and diversifying income sources.
- The document outlines Nepal's practical experience with community-based disaster management planning and implementation. Priority areas are selected and community disaster plans developed and linked to development planning.
