“Community based disaster risk management (CBDRM) is a process, which leads to a locally
appropriate and locally 'owned' strategy for disaster preparedness and risk reduction.”
The aim of CBDRM is to create resilient people living within resilient communities within
resilient environments within resilient countries. This is achieved by reducing the:
Probability of failure through risk reduction measures.
Consequences of failure, in terms of fewer lives lost, fewer injuries and reduced direct
and indirect damage.
Time needed for recovery.
Patterns of vulnerability that can develop during the process of reconstruction.
