Summary

The research set out to determine if community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) interventions based on the Nine Minimum Characteristics of a Disaster Resilient Community left communities in a stronger position to protect themselves from, and to recover after, a disaster event such as a flood or earthquake. An in-depth, qualitative research approach was developed to capture both the views of householders at the community-level across 24 case study areas, local government representatives and project implementing partners.
