Community-based Disaster Risk Management
Participants in CBDRRM
engages communities not only in DRR but also in all phases of the disaster management cycle. The task of decision-making and activity implementation rest primarily on local peoples and organizations with the national government assuming a supportive partner’s role.
every family, individual, organization, business, and public service entity within a community must assume a role in reducing disaster risks.
Families can practice DRRM with the smaller hazards they are exposed
Various Stakeholders and Actors in CBRRM Process
Educational institutions are indispensable actors in community based DRRM. Students fall within the most vulnerable sectors of the population. Yet, because of the nature of schools and students, they could also be the most potent agents not only of disaster preparedness but in all aspects of the disaster management cycle.
