Abstract
The concept of Community-based Disaster Risk Management
(CBDRM) has emerged during the past two decades in South East
Asian countries. The promoters included NGOs, citizen’s
organizations, humanitarian agencies and government departments
in different countries in the region. Despite this rapid expansion in
application, a great majority of CBDRM practitioners lack
opportunities for skill development and capacity building. Although
there are a number of courses available on community-based
disaster risk management, it is not possible for all practitioners to
participate in such courses due to problems of funding and language.
The PDR SEA project, under the guidance of UNESCAP, took
steps to fill that need by producing information and training
materials such as this handbook.
