This guidebook was produced to build the capacity of Communities of Practice members on inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). IIRR and Give2Asia hope that this guidebook will help CBOs in Asia make their disaster preparedness programs more inclusive and sensitive to the needs of vulnerable groups in communities.
There are 3 parts:
Part 1: Principles and practice of inclusion in DRRM and disaster preparedness
Part 2: Dimensions of Inclusive Disaster Preparedness
Part 3: Practical tools and strategies in inclusive disaster preparedness - including: Hazard vulnerability and capacity assessment; Early warning system and Emergency preparedness
This guidebook aims to:
1. Enable partner CBOs to delve into strategic planning, approaches and tools on Inclusive DRR;
2. Provide alternative learning avenues for sectors to shift paradigm: from looking at excluded groups as “the recipient, or an object” into a more equitable gender-fair and humane categorization, such as intervenors or pro-actors;
3. Provide samples of standard platforms and protocols on inclusive disaster risk assessment, structural framework, gender-mainstreaming and paralegal support systems
4. Develop a community of learning (COL) in sharing inclusion on rights, advocacy, livelihoods, and entitlements
