. As part of the Kerala State Disaster Management Policy, it is envisaged to deal with disasters in a multi-hazard perspective with interagency cross-sectoral cooperation. It aim to identify the hazards, vulnerability and the possible risks in a proactive manner and prepare the communities, administration, the government and all other stakeholders against the consequences of disasters and equip them with emergency resources as well as mechanism for implementing these plans. The present project study would help in focusing on the hazard risk scenario of the coastal belt of the Kerala State and would make recommendations / suggestions for reducing these risks. It will also emphasize on role of local communities in identification and prevention / control of disaster incidences as well as impacts in these areas.
The document provides an introduction to disaster management. It discusses key concepts like hazard, vulnerability, risk, and disaster management cycle. It notes that while disasters have always occurred, their frequency and impact have increased dramatically in recent decades. The document outlines some of the deadliest global disasters from 1992-2001 and major disasters that have impacted India since 1970. It emphasizes that a disaster occurs when a hazard impacts a vulnerable population, exceeding their ability to cope. Understanding hazards, vulnerability, capacity, and their interaction is important for disaster management.
Disaster is also sometimes described as a “catastrophic situation in which the normal pattern of life or eco-system has been disrupted and extraordinary emergency interventions are required to save and preserve lives and or the environment”.

SHOII Slide-TOPS_Resilience Interventions_Revised 02 March 2015Shafiqur Rahman
The document summarizes the partner NGO activities of the SHOUHARDO II Program in Bangladesh. It operates in 11 districts across 4 regions, working with over 370,000 households. The program aims to build resilience to food insecurity by reducing vulnerability to disasters and climate change. Key approaches include disaster risk management, emergency preparedness planning, early warning systems, infrastructure improvements, agriculture and livelihood support, and empowering community institutions. Community vulnerability assessments inform adaptation plans and preparedness activities. Indications are that the program has increased resilience by reducing loss of life and livelihoods in disasters through preparedness measures, while more adaptive approaches are still needed to reduce crop damage.

What is Community Participation
Community participation, generally, refers to the involvement of people in any project to solve their own problems or to develop their socio-economic conditions. They participate in setting goals, and preparing, implementing and evaluating plans and programs.
Basically, it is a dynamic group process in which all members of a group contribute, share or are influenced by the interchange of ideas and activities toward problem-solving or decision-making .
This document summarizes the outcomes of an ActionAid disaster management project in Nepal. The project aimed to build safer communities through awareness, empowerment and capacity building. Key results included:
1) Increased awareness and confidence in disaster preparedness and risk reduction among 135,000 community members through training of volunteers.
2) Establishment of functional disaster management committees that synergized community efforts and mobilized local resources above targets.
3) Implementation of small-scale mitigation projects like shelters and embankments that protected communities.
Action Aid Nepal recognizes that effective emergency and disaster preparedness that considers vulnerable groups can reduce impacts. Nepal faces many natural disasters that kill over 1,100 people annually. Several government and non-government organizations work on disaster mitigation but more focus is needed on preparedness and rehabilitation. Key gaps include disaster management not being prioritized nationally and a lack of participation from vulnerable groups in assessments. Action Aid Nepal will work to build capacity, form alliances, influence policy, and respond to emergencies to help vulnerable communities prepare for and recover from disasters.

It provides an overview of the key hazards affecting different regions of the country. It also summarizes the country's history of disasters and their impacts. Furthermore, it outlines the basic concepts, framework and approaches to disaster risk reduction and management in the Philippines as established by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010.
This document summarizes community-based disaster risk management efforts along the Juwana River bank in Pati District, Central Java, Indonesia supported by the Yayasan Society for Health Education Environment and Peace (SHEEP) Foundation. The program aims to build community capacity and resilience to disasters through participatory mapping, advocacy, and strengthening local organizations. Key activities included developing hazard maps, emergency plans, and livelihood support. Findings showed communities had knowledge of natural warning signs and coping strategies, but more coordination is still needed between local efforts and government disaster policies.
The document discusses community-based disaster management. It defines disaster management as organizing resources and responsibilities for dealing with humanitarian aspects of emergencies. It emphasizes empowering local communities to analyze their risks and capacities. The community-based approach promotes bottom-up participation in planning and implementation alongside top-down support. Case studies from countries like Afghanistan and India demonstrate training community members in emergency response and earthquake-safe construction.

9. Study Area
Elamkunnapuzha Panchayath
Villages
1. Elamkunnapuzha
2. Puthuvypu
Area
11.52 Km2
POPULATION -58007…….!
12. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND
AWARENESS CREATION
The condition of shelter facilities is in very pathetic stage
Many houses are in CRZ
Lack of original record about the ownership of the property
/„Pattayam‟ usually leading towards the missing of offers and
schemes from the government
Usually coastal community having some difference in character
from other region. It is difficult to get acceptance for a new
person or a scheme/project etc in this area
13. Houses are still there without getting any support from
government
Lack of awareness about the facilities and new schemes of the
government and private agencies
The Panchayath is dealing only one scheme of housing
finance support that is EMS housing support. But the problem
is that the scheme only provides 75000.
Most of them under huge liabilities
75000 is not enough to make a house
14. A Drugs and ‘Panmasala’ banned
Panchayath…!
Community meetings and other reports states that more than
80% of the families, alcohol acting as the main enemy
N e e d
Most vulnerable group-student community
Opportunity for the higher education is lacking
Normally got
Awareness…
After 10th most of them go for different jobs
350-400/day
It will lead them towards these threats

function, which need support from different sectors.

organizations and the available facilities may not be sufficient
for the response and rehabilitation processes.
• The corporate sector can play a pioneering role in supporting
and leading the community in disaster management activities
and in mobilizing human and financial resources as well as
materials for utilization in different phases of disasters.
22. A MODEL TO SHOW THE ROLE OF CORPORATE
SECTOR AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN DISASTER
