Indonesia’s need to address and increase community resilience

Indonesia is widely recognized as one of the world’s more disaster prone areas. The majority of natural disasters in Indonesia occur in remote rural communities that have little or no disaster management infrastructure or community disaster preparedness training. This lack of preparation or training leads to unnecessary suffering, slows the community’s recovery time, and increases the impacts of the disaster. Communities need access to knowledge of how they can maximize use of their own resources and capacities to reduce the risks that they face.

By capacity building these 5 interconnected aspects at the community level the risks posed by disasters can be dramatically reduced

The main components of Community Resilience IDEP defines community resilience based on John Twigg’s Characteristics of a Disaster-resilient Community. This body of work highlights the importance of 5 main interconnected aspects of community resilience: Components of Community Resilience: Governance Risk Assessment Knowledge and Education Risk management and vulnerability reduction Disaster Preparedness and Response
