This document discusses community-based disaster risk management through local community groups. It defines key concepts, outlines the purpose and categories of community groups, and describes the typical group cycle. It emphasizes the importance of community initiatives in disaster risk reduction and management. Successful community-based disaster management involves central roles for the community in assessing risks and developing locally appropriate solutions. Local community groups, social workers, and capacity building can strengthen community preparedness and response to disasters.
The document provides an introduction to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. It was adopted in 2015 at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. The framework aims to reduce disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health. It contains 7 global targets, 13 guiding principles, and 4 priorities for action to guide multi-hazard disaster risk management. The document also discusses how disaster risk reduction is linked to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)FAO
This document discusses Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). It defines DRR as reducing disaster risks through analyzing and managing causal factors, reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability, improving land and environment management, and preparing for adverse events. CCA is defined as adjusting systems in response to actual or expected climate impacts to moderate potential damages or benefit from opportunities. The document outlines international processes and agendas for DRR and CCA and priorities for action. It discusses rationales for and barriers to harnessing synergies between DRR and CCA, and approaches to facilitate their integration, such as improved access to climate information and risk governance.
Climate change is anticipated to increase risks from natural hazards like flooding, hurricanes, and landslides. More extreme weather and rising sea levels will displace populations and damage infrastructure. Crop production and food supplies will also be impacted. To reduce risks, we must address underlying vulnerabilities and lack of preparation. Sustainable emergency management requires local involvement, updated plans, resources and building resilience through redundant systems and capacity development. Disaster risks are also linked to poverty, inequality and lack of good governance.
The document describes a community-based early warning system project along the Agos River in Infanta and General Nakar, Philippines. The project installed water level monitoring stations, rain gauges, and two-way radios to monitor flooding and provide early warnings. It trained local disaster councils on emergency response. The system helped communities prepare for extreme weather, minimizing loss of lives and livelihoods. Key lessons included the importance of community participation and partnerships between local and scientific organizations.

The document summarizes key points about international frameworks for disaster risk reduction, including the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 and the new Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. It notes that while such frameworks aim to establish priorities and commitments, they are non-binding and lack mechanisms for enforcement or accountability. Implementation of frameworks depends on country actions, and risks are often driven more by issues like corruption, inequality, and political decisions than natural hazards alone. Overall, frameworks provide a basis for collaboration but cannot ensure risks will actually be reduced given limitations of the non-binding UN process.

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.
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 .
Plan of action for disaster risk reduction and management in agricultureThành Nguyễn
Lao PDR has been increasingly affected by natural hazards. These hazards cause severe damages and losses of lives, livelihoods and infrastructure. Considering the expected impacts of climate change, these hazards are likely to increase in frequency and intensity, which will threaten economic and social development and Lao’s food security. Therefore the government of Lao PDR created a Plan of Action for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Agriculture. The plan has to ensure that DRRM will be fully integrated into the planning of sustainable agricultural development and fosters synergies with related policies and strategies at all levels. It also aims to strengthen capacities of institutions and communities for enhanced planning, coordination and implementation of DRRM activities for food and nutrition security and it aims to raise awareness and provide information, including on indigenous knowledge on sustainable environmental management and DRRM and promote education at all levels to strengthen resilience and reduce disaster risks.
The document describes a community-based disaster risk reduction project in the Bicol Region of the Philippines that conducted multi-hazard mapping using geographic information systems (GIS). The mapping integrated spatial data on hazards like typhoons, landslides, floods, and earthquakes with local community knowledge to produce hazard maps for pilot communities. Challenges of the mapping process included ensuring accurate and up-to-date base maps, accounting for changes over time, building local capacity, and providing necessary hardware and software. The maps aimed to support emergency response, risk management, and local development planning by identifying hazards, vulnerabilities, and priority risk areas.

Impact of disaster on social, economic and physical fabricShyam Krishna Karki
Disasters can seriously disrupt communities by exceeding their ability to cope using available resources. The 2015 earthquakes in Nepal killed over 5,000 people and caused an estimated $10 billion in economic losses. Impacts included widespread unemployment, loss of livelihoods, and damage to public infrastructure and private property. The disasters also disrupted social systems through family disorganization, increased risk of violence and abuse, and changes in marital and living situations.
The organisation and management of the resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies. The aim is to reduce the harmful effects of all hazards.
Disaster is a serious, dangerous and intolerable phenomena on the planet earth. Thousands of people die in a moment. Many people may become homeless and parentless. Valuable properties get damaged within no time. Disasters are events shocking the whole world and making the humanity to feel very sad. All life support systems are affected by these incidences.
What is required to minimize the effects is the application of certain management practices. Disaster management is an essential component of our development works. Let us see the aspects of Disaster Management in this module.
Bangladesh is a natural disaster-prone country of an area about 1, 47, 570 sq. km with population about 140 million (BBS, 2012). Bangladesh is facing various types of natural disaster due to its geographic and geologic setting (Carter, 1991). Bangladesh suffers regularly and frequently from disasters like flood, cyclone, drought, earthquake and landslide etc. (Fig.1). Disasters are annual event in Bangladesh (Nasreen, 2004). From time immemorial, the geographical location, land characteristics, multiplicity of rivers, monsoon climate and coastal morphology of Bangladesh have been a mixed blessing (Sabur, 2012). Bangladesh does not meeting all the necessities of pre, during and post disaster activities that cannot deal with to have large collaboration of different organization with highly advanced equipment. Disaster management in Bangladesh is mainly concerns to disaster mitigation and preparedness (Kafiluddin, 1991).
An analytical and ground-situation report on the massive climate-induced disaster in Uttarakhand, India, in June 2013. This was presented in various UN & other metings, and at national meetings -- on climate change and disaster preparedness.
India faces numerous natural disasters due to its varied topography and climate. Over the past centuries it has experienced many severe famines, droughts, earthquakes and cyclones that have caused massive loss of life. The government has established agencies to help manage different types of disasters but coordination between them remains a challenge. It is setting up new authorities and response teams at national and local levels to strengthen preparedness, mitigation and response. However, more investment in preparedness is needed rather than relying primarily on relief. Community involvement and learning from best practices will help build a more disaster resilient India.

Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and helping communities recover from both natural and man-made disasters. It includes developing early warning systems, emergency response plans, and strategies for rebuilding infrastructure and supporting people after a disaster occurs. The document outlines different types of disasters, phases of disaster management from preparedness to recovery, and principles and approaches used in India, including establishing agencies at the national, state, and local levels to coordinate response efforts.
The document discusses disaster preparedness and mitigation in India. It provides examples of recent natural disasters that have impacted India like floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and droughts. It outlines India's legal and institutional framework for disaster management established by the Disaster Management Act of 2005. The framework includes agencies at the national, state, and district levels tasked with mitigation, preparedness, response and relief efforts. The document also discusses specific mitigation measures that have been taken for different natural disasters in India and the importance of community preparedness.
Flooding’s occur when an extreme volume of water is carried by rivers, creeks and many other geographical features into areas where the water cannot be drained adequately. Often, during times of heavy rainfall, drainage systems in residential areas are not adequate or unchecked civil development severely impedes the functionality of an otherwise acceptable drainage system.
This document summarizes a presentation given by HariKrishna Nibanupudi at the 4th International Disaster & Risk Conference on disaster risk reduction in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region. The presentation covers hazards in the region like earthquakes, glacial lake outburst floods, and increased frequency of disasters. It discusses challenges in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the importance of regional cooperation. It also provides an overview of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development's work on bridging data gaps, enhancing regional cooperation, developing knowledge and capacity, strengthening community resilience, and disaster preparedness in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region.
The document summarizes the devastating floods and landslides that occurred in June 2013 in the Indian state of Uttarakhand due to heavy rainfall. Over 100,000 pilgrims and tourists were trapped as bridges and roads were destroyed. While some other parts of northern India and western Nepal also experienced heavy rainfall, over 95% of casualties occurred in Uttarakhand. The disaster was exacerbated by unchecked construction and lack of disaster preparedness in the state, despite warnings. Extensive damage occurred at several pilgrimage sites, and thousands remained stranded with homes and infrastructure destroyed.

Orissa is endowed with rich natural resources in the form of vast mineral deposits, forest, fertile land, plentiful surface and ground water resources, long coast line, and picturesque tourist potential. But, such resources have not been exploited adequately for income generation activities. As a result, Orissa ranks very low among the Indian states in terms of per capita income, and it has become one of the poorest states of the country. Large proportion of people in the state have very poor living conditions. As per an estimate, among the fifteen major states of India, the position of Orissa with regard to living conditions or standard of living is fourteenth (Behera and Mitra: 1996). So, it becomes necessary to examine the poverty scenario and the formation SHGs in reducing the poverty.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

9. What is PDNA - objectives
The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) is an internationally
accepted methodology for determining the physical damages, economic
losses, and costs of meeting recovery needs after a natural disaster through
a government-led process.
Objectives of PDNA
1
PDNA is a mechanism for joint
assessment and recovery planning
after a disaster
2
The joint assessment analyses the damage,
economic loss, effects and impact of the
disaster and identifies recovery needs across
identified sectors
3
The assessment also highlights the
macro-economic and human
impacts of the disaster
4
The recovery needs identified helps to
mobilize resources and develop a
comprehensive recovery strategy
10. The PDNA is envisaged as a country owned and
led process, supported by international agencies
and other stakeholders
By bringing together key stakeholders engaged in
recovery, the PDNA aims to avoid duplication
and harmonize assessment efforts
The multi-stakeholder approach leads to the
development of a single PDNA report that can be
used as a tool for planning and programming
recovery, as well for resource mobilization

• Government Leadership: National ownership and leadership is an
essential pre-requisite for the use and application of the PDNA.
• National expertise : Works better when people with skills and
knowledge of the country and region undertake the PDNA. Its
should be Institutionalized as a part of the national DRR strategy.
• Linked with Recovery: The PDNA must lead to recovery planning
and programming. It should be done with a on focus on reducing
risks and “building back better
• Right balance : PDNA must have the right balance between social
and economic and infrastructure needs
• Time bound :The PDNA should be planned and completed within a
stipulated timeframe.
• Collaborative Effort : The PDNA is a collaboration between
ministries and national and international partners. A strong
collaboration leads to better results.
21. Brief on
Rwanda
Wauthier etal (2012)
Rwanda is located between two branch of
East African Rift System (EARS)
There are both dormant and active volcanoes
Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira are active
Nyiragongo itself has 900m wide crater
It has open vents/flanks where lavas erupt
from (2002,2021)
There are active faults through which
earthquakes are produced
22. On 22nd May 2021 after Nyiragongo eruption
Lava flow reached Rwanda (5 ha covered)
Lava Lake was drained after eruption
followed by a series of earthquakes
Existing fissure was reactivated (NW-SE)
Eastern arm of the main fissure was observed in Rugerero (Rwaza Cell)

4 5.1 2
Scenario –
subsequent earthquake
23. What is most
likely to happen?
Earthquakes: Earthquakes from eruption is
less likely as far as Nyiragongo lava Lake is
not replenished. However, rift valley system
can generate earthquakes from active faults
Volcanic eruption: re-eruption will depend on
the refilling of the magma chamber and the
drained Nyiragongo lava Lake
Lake Kivu/Gas outburst: Less likely to
happened due to the water volume and the
permanent stratification stability of the lake.
