Lesson 1 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM)

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) is critical to social and economic development and must be sustainable for the future. There are many international agreements that addressed DRRM such as the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005 – 2015), the Sendai Framework for DRR (2016), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015). The countries who joined these agreements shall continuously make DRRM as part of the government’s priorities for action. The successful implementation of DRRM in the national level is only feasible if disaster prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, rehabilitation, and recovery are known, planned, and implemented in the community or local levels.
