DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY
PREPAREDNESS PLAN
 COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS
PLAN
It is a process of bringing people together
within the same community to enable them
to collectively address a common disaster
risk and collectively pursue common
disaster preparedness.
 IMPORTANCE COMMUNITY
PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Community preparedness is crucial for
building resilience and ensuring safety
during emergencies. By involving diverse
groups, such as families, businesses, and
rural communities, a resilient network is
created that can minimize disaster impact
and promote quicker recovery.

 UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY

 Identifying key stakeholders

Identifying key stakeholders in the
development of a community preparedness
plan involves recognizing individuals,
groups, organizations, and institutions that
are affected by, have an interest in, or are
involved in addressing the issue at hand.
 UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY

 Assessing community vulnerabilities

Assessing community vulnerabilities is an essential
step in developing a community preparedness plan. It
involves identifying and evaluating the community's
susceptibility to various hazards, such as natural
disasters, technological disasters, and public health
challenges. The goal is to understand the community's
unique risks and capacities, enabling the development
of targeted and effective resilience-building strategies
 UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY

 Assessing community vulnerabilities

To assess community vulnerabilities, consider the
following steps:
 Identify potential hazards
 Assess community context
 Conduct hazard and vulnerability assessments
 Engage community members
 Analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities
 Develop a resilience strategy
 Monitor and reassess
 UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY

 Analyzing past incidents and lessons learned

Analyzing past incidents and learning from them is crucial for
improving community preparedness plans. This process
involves examining past incidents to identify the root causes,
assessing community context, conducting hazard and
vulnerability assessments, engaging community members,
analyzing and prioritizing vulnerabilities, and developing a
resilience strategy. By learning from past incidents,
communities can identify areas for improvement, implement
effective security controls, monitor and measure performance,
and enhance their overall resilience to various hazards.
 DEVELOPING THE PLAN

 Establishing goals and objectives

Establishing goals and objectives is a critical step in
developing a community preparedness plan. The process
involves setting clear and realistic goals that align with
national and local disaster management policies, as well
as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These
goals should be defined in collaboration with community
members and stakeholders to determine what needs to be
achieved, how progress will be measured, and what
indicators and targets will be used.
 DEVELOPING THE PLAN

 Creating an emergency response team

Creating an emergency response team is a crucial step in
preparing for potential crises in an organization. The
team should include individuals with relevant skills,
knowledge, and experience from various departments
such as operations, safety, communications, and medical
services. The team should be designed to address the
organization's unique needs, considering its size,
industry, location, and recent business threat assessments.
 DEVELOPING THE PLAN

 Designing communication strategies

Designing communication strategies in disaster risk
reduction (DRR) involves creating a comprehensive plan
for disseminating information to various stakeholders,
including communities, government agencies, and
response teams. The communication strategy should aim
to raise awareness, promote preparedness, and ensure
effective response and recovery during and after
disasters.

 Conducting drills and exercises

Conducting drills and exercises is essential for
improving disaster response capabilities. This
includes various types of training and exercises,
such as lectures, confirmation of response
contents, decision-making, and physical
exercises. Drills are categorized into education
and training, with the goal of understanding
procedures and improving proficiency.
