Summary

The presentation entitled Urban community-based disaster risk reduction Symposium is based on NSET initiatives in community-based disaster risk reduction. The presentation illustrates the major findings as the importance of continuous mass awareness campaigns for Disaster Risk Management. Involving Local Governments in incorporating Indigenous Wisdom is crucial for the sustainability of the process. Transparency fosters community participation and ownership while cost-effectiveness and replicability are vital for maximum impact. Tailoring CBDRM to the community's needs and pace is essential and simple risk assessment tools are necessary for effective implementation.
