Communities are at the core of disaster risk reduction (DRR), and community based approaches are getting increasing focus in national DRR plans. In the case of past disasters, communities were always the first responders, and took leading roles in the post disaster recovery. The roles of communities in pre-disaster preparedness are also very important. This is the first comprehensive book available on CBDRR (community based disaster risk reduction) which outlines both research and practice, citing field examples and research results. It provides an overview of the subject and looks at the role of governments, NGOs, academics and corporate sectors in community based disaster risk reduction. It proceeds to examine experiences from Asian and African countries, and concludes by looking ahead to the future perspective of CBDRR.

Actively including communities in decision-making processes and equipping them with knowledge and skills are key steps in identifying, comprehending, and addressing disaster risks.Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management covers a wide range of topics, including risk assessment and analysis, disaster preparedness planning, early warning systems, community engagement, and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of local knowledge, community empowerment, and participatory approaches in building resilience and reducing vulnerabilities. Through case studies, practical examples, and evidence-based research findings, the book equips readers with the tools and insights needed to design and implement effective disaster risk reduction initiatives that are tailored to the specific needs and context of different communities.

This book presents key lessons from community-based risk-reduction practices in Japan, a country that is often hit by disasters and that also has shown strong resilience in coping with those disasters. Japan has a strong governance system for disaster risk reduction. However, the Kobe earthquake of 1995 showed the importance of community involvement in disaster response as well as recovery. With several examples from different parts of Japan, the book elaborates on the importance of community-based risk reduction and the innovations required for sustaining some of the community approaches. The book has 13 chapters and is divided into three parts: (1) Evolution of community-based risk reduction in Japan; (2) Community-based risk-reduction issues; and (3) Case studies. The primary target groups for this book are students and researchers in the fields of environment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change studies. The book provides them with a good idea of the current research trends in the field and furnishes basic knowledge about these vital topics. Another target group comprises practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the knowledge collected here to policy and decision-making.

Dr. Antony Gnanamuthu, who has worked with the target communities vulnerable to cyclone (first responders) and been a practitioner in the field of disaster management. He has worked diligently in Asia, Africa, and Europe at international levels in this field. He has developed this book on the basis of his experiences in disaster prone Indian State of Odisha, as well as his experience while working with various countries in the three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe). His own research in implementing "Community Based Disaster Risk Management" on community aspects of disaster management as well as use of policy initiatives and technology developments has been the basis on which he has further developed the basic themes of this book (training manuals) from community preparedness perspective (as a bottom-up approach). As Program Director - he brought this work with a large number of new ideas, and initiatives which were innovative in nature and were put to practice during the period 2005 - 2009, while implementing the "Odisha Disaster Mitigation Program - ODMP" (funded by Federal Republic of Germany (through KfW) with Government of India through Odisha State Government, Indian Red Cross - Odisha State branch, is even now being practiced by the "Odisha Disaster Management Authority" in all the Shelter communities across Coastal Odisha. This initiative has reduced the "loss of life" to almost "nil", through proper planning and coordination with various relevant stake-holders (in a bottom-up approach) as in “Village Disaster Management Plan” (VDMP) – connecting the target population with the Government officials at Panchayat, Block, Thasil and District level. This community-based initiative is now being practiced in various developing countries by mobilizing the "target communities as "first responders", in case we are to achieve the benchmarks set and accepted globally relating to the Sendai Framework and other global mandates. The key take away is that this model of mobilizing the target communities as first responders given the nature of the hazards and risks, natural and human-made, with which we are facing now and in the future. There are plenty of ideas put forward by Dr. Antony Gnanamuthu, which can be the basis for further policy and strategy development and actions. This book (training manuals), right thinking people and concerned strategies and practitioners find new vistas of public action in India and in the disaster-prone areas around the world. This community mobilization can be practiced and has significance for any country around the world having disaster prone areas. The recommendations are equally relevant for any other country as well, and as such the ideas also have an international significance.

We are witnessing an ever-increasing level and intensity of disasters from Ecuador to Ethiopia and beyond, devastating millions of ordinary lives and causing long-term misery for vulnerable populations. Bringing together 26 case studies from six continents, this volume provides a unique resource that discusses, in considerable depth, the multifaceted matrix of natural and human-made disasters. It examines their bearing on the loss of human and productive capital; the conduct of national policies and the setting of national development priorities; and on the nature of international aid and bilateral assistance strategies and programs of donor countries. In order to ensure the efficacy and appropriateness of their support for disaster survivors, international agencies, humanitarian and disaster relief organizations, scholars, non-governmental organizations, and members of the global emergency management community need to have insight into best practices and lessons learned from various disasters across national and cultural boundaries. The evidence obtained from the numerous case studies in this volume serves to build a worldwide community that is better informed about the cultural and traditional contexts of such disasters and better enabled to prepare for, respond to, and finally rebuild sustainable communities after disasters in different environments. The main themes of the case studies include: • the need for community planning and emergency management to unite in order to achieve the mutual aim of creating a sustainable disaster-resilient community, coupled with the necessity to enact and implement appropriate laws, policies, and development regulations for disaster risk reduction; • the need to develop a clear set of urban planning and urban design principles for improving the built environment’s capacities for disaster risk management through the integration of disaster risk reduction education into the curricula of colleges and universities; • the need to engage the whole community to build inclusive governance structures as prerequisites for addressing climate change vulnerability and fostering resilience and sustainability. Furthermore, the case studies explore the need to link the existence and value of scientific knowledge accumulated in various countries with decision-making in disaster risk management; and the relevance and transferability from one cultural context to another of the lessons learned in building institutional frameworks for whole community partnerships.
