Tools that help communities to prepare for, respond to, or reduce the impact of potential hazards and disasters

What disasters have affected the communities you are working in over the past few years? Have things changed as a result of the disasters? Have steps been taken to avoid the same thing happening again?

How do people view disasters? Are they seen as things that will happen anyway, and that little can be done about them, or as events that can be prepared for?

This resource helps you consider these questions and start thinking about solutions to challenges they might bring up.
