Community Preparedness

Community Preparedness is the first phase of the overall disaster management cycle and is a critical part of Community Based DIsaster Management (CBDM) activities.

The goal is to prepare the community to better cope with disaster.

Community disaster preparedness include:

• Develop an early warning system
• Develop a hazard risk monitoring system
• Develop a hazard warning communication system
• Develop an evacuation plan
• Create places and facilities for evacuation purposes
• Formulate emergency plans and disaster alert plans
• Train, rehearse and simulate
• Develop and place signs for evacuation and early warning
