Program activities include capacity building and training of community disaster preparedness teams (DPTs), School Disaster Preparedness Teams (SDPTs) and District Management Agencies/BPBD in the two target districts. This program will facilitate the planning and development of various disaster reduction plans considering vulnerability and capacity assessments, hazard mapping, and mobilization of community resources which will be incorporated into the government planning process. DPTs will be trained to do outreach to neighboring communities and how to link with the District Disaster Management Agency.
