Workshop on Institutionalising Sustainable Disaster Risk management among Communities

Institutionalising sustainable Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) is one of the community-based key strategies to prepare for hazards and respond to disasters which can be sustained for long and becomes a practice for other related institutions. It focuses on reduction of human impact on natural hazards with support from local civil society, communities, households and individuals to become less vulnerable. Thus, preparedness can be done by strengthening their capacity to anticipate and cope with disasters.
