The Sendai Framework recognizes that Disaster risk reduction requires an all-of-society engagement and partnership. It also requires empowerment and inclusive, accessible and non-discriminatory participation, paying special attention to people disproportionately affected by disasters, especially the poorest. A gender, age, disability and cultural perspective should be integrated in all policies and practices, and women and youth leadership should be promoted. In this context, special attention should be paid to the improvement of organized voluntary work of citizens.

Being part of the community and at the forefront of the affected areas, community members should be part of all the processes of disaster risk reduction management (DRRM) from mitigation to response. This module on Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction Management aims to introduce the learner to the approach and ensure that Civil Society takes a pro-active stance on inclusion.
