The ‘Characteristics of a Disaster-resilient Community’ project, which supports processes of community mobilisation and partnership for disaster risk reduction, has a new webpage, on the ProVention Consortium’s website. This contains English and Spanish versions of the key resource document identifying characteristics of resilience, case studies showing how the ‘Characteristics’ resource has been used in the field, and other background material. More case studies and practical guidance will be added in the coming months, and a revised version of the ‘Characteristics’ will be published for the second session of the UN Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2009.
Everyone is welcome to use the ‘Characteristics’ and feedback is welcome: visit the website or contact John Twigg.
