1. Background: Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) in Urban and Rural Settings in Quang Binh

Vietnam is one of the most hazard-prone areas in the Asia Pacific Region. Because of its topography, Vietnam is susceptible to typhoons, floods, inundation, droughts, sea water intrusion, landslides, forest fires and others. Floods, typhoons, and inundation are the most frequent disasters, with floods and storms responsible for 91% of affected persons and ranking highest in terms of economic damage. Frequent and severe flooding and typhoon increased by climate change will continue to cause damages and losses unless risk reduction and adaptation strategies are implemented on all levels and across all sectors. The aim of the 3years CBDRM project has been to contribute to the reduction of negative impacts of more frequent and severe natural hazards in the context of Climate Change on urban, peri-urban and rural populations of Quang Binh Province. Supported by Marga und Walter Boll Stiftung (Marga and Walter Boll Foundation), Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) and German Red Cross (GRC) have supported the local authorities and civil societies in Tuyen Hoa District and Dong Hoi City to conduct activities related to DRM and CCA at ward/communes, schools and household levels.
