The document outlines the concept of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and emphasizes the importance of community engagement in identifying and managing disaster risks. It describes various thematic areas related to DRR, including prevention, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation, detailing the responsibilities of government agencies and key activities for each area. The document also encourages students to observe and discuss DRR practices within their communities.

disasters or more resilient.

5. Development does not increase or

7. Disaster risk reduction policies,
laws and regulations will NOT save
lives unless correctly implemented

Discuss the different community – based practices
for managing disaster risk to specific-to-specific
hazards (DRR11/12- – IIg-h-44)

risk reduction management community based practices
Specific Objectives:
• Determine the activities and roles of the different

managing disaster risk to specific hazard?

17. Activity 2:
Your task is to determine the main
focus and the specific activities of the
Thematic area in DRRM assigned in
