Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management
 According to the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), CBDRRM
is defined as “activities, measures, projects
and programs that aim to reduce disaster
risks and are primarily designed by people
living in high-risk communities, and are
based on their urgent needs and
capacities.” CBDRRM promotes the cultures
of self-help and self-empowerment
 Through CBDRRM, the community is able to
implement DRRM in a more organized and
systematic manner by themselves using
their own capacities.
Community Based Disaster Management
(CBDM) or Community Based Disaster Risk
Management (CBDRM)
 is practice of disaster risk management in
which at risk communities actively engaged
in identification, analysis and assess the
disaster risks for their own pursue to reduce
their vulnerabilities and enhance their
capabilities.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
2015-2030 (Sendai Framework)
 March 18, 2015, Sendai, Japan
 was the first major agreement of the post-
2015 development agenda and provides
Member States with concrete actions to
protect development gains from the risk of
 plan for the next 15 years
SFDRR has SEVEN specific goals:
1. Reduce global disaster mortality
2. Reduce number of affected people
3. Reduce direct disaster economic loss
4. Reduce disaster damage to critical
infrastructures
5. Increase number of countries with DRR
strategies
6. Enhance international cooperation
7. Increase access to multihazard EWS, risk
information, and assessment
FOUR key targets:
1. Understanding disaster risk (ensuring
policies and practices on a clear
understanding of vulnerability)
2. Strengthening disaster risk governance
(clear strategy, laws, and budget)
3. Investing in risk reduction (for resilience,
investing in private and public to reduce
losses)
4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for
collective response and being able to “build
back better” in recovery, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction.
 In summary, while the importance of
CBDRR is recognized at the national and
local levels, its nature is changing over time.
 To make CBDRR effective, it needs to be
linked to local needs and priorities, and
disaster issues and other social needs need
to be addressed together. 
 The nature of community is also changing,
and therefore new media like social
networking needs to be used effectively for
successful CBDRR.
The concept of capacity building for managing
and reducing disaster risk is highlighted
extensively in the Hyogo Framework for Action
2005-2015.
The framework calls for accelerated efforts to
build community- and national-level capacities
to manage and reduce risk, and links these
efforts to all five priority areas of action.
Community-based disaster preparedness and
climate adaptation: local capacity-building in
the Philippines Community-based disaster
preparedness (CBDP) approaches are
increasingly important elements of vulnerability
reduction and disaster management strategies.
 
Occur across levels from local to national in the
Philippines, but focus is predominantly at the
local level where numerous actors and
networks are collaborating with communities to
identify existing capacities, as well as provide
the opportunity to build infrastructure, which

a strong focus on the special needs of
vulnerable groups such as women and
children.
 By providing a wealth of data on health
issues arising from disasters and
conflict, CRED seeks to improve needs-
based preparedness and responses
to humanitarian emergencies
GO BAG
 A backpack or duffel bag filled with
survival essentials you can grab and take
with you when disaster strikes
 Its contents may vary according to
personal or your family’s needs but
should include a few staple items one
would require to survive for 72 hours (3
days) when evacuating from a disaster.
 Contents: water, ready to eat food,
toiletries, first aid kit, radio, phones,
charger, flashlight, important
documents, money.
