What is Community……? Shares one or more common thing such as living in the same environment. Similar disaster risk exposure or having been affected by a disaster. Common problems, concerns,hopes regarding disaster risks may also be shared.
What is CBDP…..? A process of disaster preparedness, in which at risk communities are actively participating in the Planning, analysis, assessment, monitoring and evaluation of disaster risks in order to reduce their vulnerabilities and enhance their capacities.
Why CBDP….? Communities are the first responders. Self help is the best help To identify the vulnerability of the area. To identify the locally available resources To capacitate the community for optimum utilization of available resources. To empower themselves before any external support arrives.
