World Vision Disaster Risk Reduction Toolkit: Introduction

The World Vision Asia Pacific team launches a much awaited Disaster Reduction (DRR) toolkit that will refine their on-going disaster management field work. This user-friendly DRR toolkit is designed to assist field staff in undertaking the integration of DRR and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) into field programmes more effectively. In addition, the toolkit also serves as a step-by-step guide to help strengthen work in building community resilience. This DRR toolkit provides a series of 4 tools and easy to use worksheets that will build knowledge and confidence for staff in tackling issues around disaster and climate-related risks in the field. It has been designed for use by other stakeholders, such as local governments and civil society organizations in joint risk assessment, analysis processes and programming.
