The Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) - The aim of the Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment process is to increase people’s understanding of their hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities and to enable them to develop appropriate solutions to improve their situation. Based on the findings of the PDRA assessment, Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CM-DRR) plans are developed to help communities in building their resilience and developing positive coping mechanisms.

Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CM-DRR) - This plan refers to a process in which communities are actively engaged in the identification, analysis, monitoring and evaluation of the risks, with the aim of reducing people’s disaster risk and enhancing their capacities. It places the communities at the heart of decision-making processes and in the management of disaster risk reduction measures.
