This guidance note is for government and civil society organisations working on disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives at community level, in partnership with vulnerable communities. It shows what a 'disaster-resilient community' might consist of, by setting out the many different elements of resilience. It also provides some ideas about how to progress towards resilience. The guidance note is a resource, not a manual. It is designed to support processes of community mobilisation and partnership for DRR. Users can select relevant information and ideas from it to support their field work, according to their needs and priorities. This should be the result of discussion between communities and the organisations working with them.
