Community based disaster risk reduction household survey guide

This guide has been developed to help national Red Cross Societies implement baseline and final assessments for community based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) projects. It includes instructions for how to prepare and conduct household surveys as well as standardized questionnaires and reporting forms that will be used by countries participating in risk reduction projects.

The household survey is designed to collect the minimum amount of information needed for program monitoring and evaluation so that it minimizes the reporting burden for Red Cross national societies. In total, the baseline assessment should require less than two weeks time from a Red Cross national society staff member, however, the length of time will depend on the number of communities participating in CBDRR programs and their accessibility.
