Long term planning framework: community preparedness and risk reduction 2012-2015
This document presents the community preparedness and risk reduction function's (CPRR) programme 2012-2015 of the IFRC. In its work CPRR covers four key technical areas: (i) community-based disaster preparedness; (ii) disaster risk reduction (iii) climate change adaptation and mitigation; and (iv) food security, nutrition and livelihoods.
In response to challenges coming from natural hazards, CPRR is said to provide critical capacity and resources for National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to effectively meet the growing needs of vulnerable communities and reduce their exposure to risk.
