COMMUNITY PLANNING FOR DISASTERMANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Our community can be afected by disaster at any

time. Hazards like oods, earthquakes and

landslides can happen without any warning but

this doesnt mean that we should panic. hat itdoes mean that our community should always

ha!e a disaster plan which can respond to all our

areas needs during an emergency.

e cannot assume that o"cial help will always be

a!ailable immediately a#ter a disaster. $

community should be prepared to work together sothat they can %nd e!en a temporary solution to

their problems.

our plan is to be success#ul, our entire

community needs to be educated, in#ormed and

organized. &ts important that we dont neglect

anyone because o# their 'ob, literacy le!el, or their

age. (!eryone can contribute something to this

plan.

2. FIND OUT HOW VULNERABLE YOU ARE

*ulnerability means the e+posure o# people,their work, and their en!ironment to the

efects o# a hazard. he more !ulnerable you

are, the more damage a hazard can do.
