Building Disaster Resilient Communities: Good Practices and Lessons Learned

This 54 page document from the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction is built upon and organized as 16 case studies on community resilience initiatives. Presented by country, each case study includes an abstract, a description of the initiative including goals, objectives, activities and outcomes, and a summary of good practices and lessons learned in the process. This document covers numerous aspects of DRR and resilience building, compiled from numerous agencies surveyed. Submitted as part of a cooperative effort to build a small library of easy-access references for best practices and lessons in existing documents, this resource can also be found on linked pages within this portal.
