Published: Nov 08, 2010

Publication Summary

This paper examines instances in which successful community-based DRR approaches have been scaled outside their originating community and identifies four bridging strategies. Through examples, anecdotes, and mini case studies, the author illustrates these strategies in the hopes of stimulating thought and discussion on new practices and policies to bring community-led DRR to a global scale.
