Answer:
Explanation:
Role fo community in disaster management is very important.
As it is the community which is going to face the disaster, it is very important that community should be part of the complete disaster management process in all three phases- pre, during, post.
Community knows itself, its environment better. Many times, senior citizens are aware of incidences that have happened in the past, which others may not be aware of. One just needs to make community aware, and provide necessary inputs to identify hazards and risks.
When community is involved in DM planning process, it does not become responsibility of only govt, or any external agency. Community accepts it as their own responsibility and this feeling in community makes the process, response easier.
Also in case of any disaster, community itself acts as a first responder before the external help reaches to victims. So if the capacity building of community is done, community will be ready to face disaster and it will reduce the work load on external agencies coming to help.
Community’s role can be in all three phases- training, plan, early warning, communication, shelter, search and rescue,food arrangements etc can be planned better with help of youths, women etc from the community.
Answer:
Community members play a vital role in reducing the impact of a disaster. People at this level are often the most vulnerable to disaster and experience the greatest impacts for various reasons. Yet they are not passive victims. With knowledge of the local geology, the hazard context, and the livelihoods options available, local communities must be involved in disaster management programmes from the start, and supported by projects to develop the capacities and linkages that help overcome.
This technical brief produced by Practical Answers (the technical advice service of Practical Action) outlines how and why communities must participate in disaster mitigation. The paper draws on examples from Latin America, but is applicable anywhere. As it is often the same group of people that are affected worst by disasters and climate change, the community-based approach outlined here is a useful tool for adaptation. Note that the technical brief was originally written by Andrew Maskrey then director of IT Perú (now known as Soluciones Prácticas) for the Appropriate Technology magazine Volume 19/Number 3 December 1992.
