Description
In a world increasingly threatened by natural disasters, Empowering the Vulnerable explores how Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) can transform the lives of women and children, which often the most overlooked in disaster planning. Through compelling case studies, this book highlights innovative strategies that equip women with the knowledge, leadership skills, and tools to actively participate in disaster preparedness and climate adaptation. Using participatory methods like flood risk mapping, focus group discussions, and disaster preparedness almanacs, the program fosters inclusive resilience building and strengthens social support systems. By centering the voices and experiences of women and children, the book reveals how these vulnerable groups can become powerful agents of change, emerging not just as survivors, but as local champions in disaster risk reduction.
