Before Disasters happen actions can be taken by local
communities to reduce the hazards in their area and prepare themselves
so that if disaster does happen they know what to do. During disasters local
community members are the first people in the area that can help with
vital actions that save lives. In the recovery stage community’s know best
what their needs are and can help to develop and manage their own recovery
in a more effective and sustainable way.
IDEP’s Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) capacity building
program assists local communities to understand and implement a range
of effective actions that can help to reduce the chance of disaster happening
in their area, be more prepared if disaster does happen, and recover
more quickly and more sustainably from disasters. |
