Our world today is experiencing frequent and often more serious disasters which threaten to reverse the many development gains achieved over decades. The Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) framework helps show the links between development and disaster. CMDRR relies on fundamental recognition that the communities affected by these hazards also have the solutions. It engages communities in identification, analysis, monitoring and evaluation of risks to reduce people’s vulnerabilities and enhance their capacities. While it may not be possible to completely stop the occurrences of natural hazards, communities, governments and local institutions can work together to prevent hazards caused by humans, reduce risks to disasters, mitigate or manage when disasters do occur and minimize their effects on lives and livelihoods. This manual serves as a resource guide to help communities be at the center and enable them to take control of disaster risk reduction process and design relevant actions. ; The revised manual is broken down into four booklets: 1. CMDRR Training, Design and Implementation 2. CMDRR Concepts, Principles and Practices (Module 1) 3. Facilitating CMDRR Method and Process (Module 2) 4. Sustaining CMDRR (Module 3) Details of each session can be found in the CMDRR Training Design and Implementation booklet in the overview of the training course.
