Caritas Czech Republic. 2009. Making Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction Operational at Community Level: A Guide. By Rustico “Rusty” Biñas.
Manual Overview: In today’s world, the whole of humanity confronts more frequent and deadlier disasters than before. Brought about by natural and social hazards (Cyclones,earthquake, armed conflicts, etc) such a condition causes destabilization and disruption in society, resulting to widespread human, material, and environmental losses. Awareness and recognition of the link between disaster and development is now crucial. Community-Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) is an approach that shows the relationship between disaster and development at the onset, and offers solutions at the outset. The manual will serve as a guide and tool on how to implement CMDRR by organizations, as well as, in specific communities.
