Building up preparedness to reduce risk through disaster resilient family intervention

This presentation explains the concept and benefits of a disaster preparedness plan. Caritas Indonesia and Caritas Bogor promoted this planning in order to raise the DRR awareness of 700 families in the Sumur District of Pandeglang, Banten. These areas were affected by a tsunami that was caused by volcanic flank failures of Mount Anak Krakatau. This presentation will highlight how the families who participated in the disaster preparedness planning were able to evacuate themselves and also warn their neighbours.
