CBDRR prioritizes local knowledge over top-down models, emphasizing that resilience must be co-created. Effective programs rely on cultural sensitivity and community ownership to identify vulnerabilities. By blending global science with local wisdom, risk reduction becomes embedded in everyday life.
Description
Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) shifts disaster management away from top-down, expert-driven models and places local communities at the center of risk reduction efforts. This video explores why disasters are inherently local, how community knowledge and lived experience are essential to identifying real vulnerabilities, and why preparedness conversations must happen long before response and recovery begin. Drawing on recent flood events and decades of practice, it highlights three core imperatives for effective CBDRR: cultural sensitivity, practical feasibility, and community ownership. Ultimately, the message is clear—resilience cannot be imposed; it must be co-created by combining global science with local wisdom and embedding risk reduction into everyday life.
