Communities, families, and individuals must have adaptive, absorptive, and transformative capacities to deal with shocks and stresses, including disasters. FH works to strengthen communities as a key part of DRR, which is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and reducing the risks of disaster and losses in lives, livelihoods, economies, and basic infrastructure. We bring local governments, partners, and communities together to ensure a safer, sustainable future. We support leaders to develop their DRR plans to identify and map local capacities to cope with these hazards. This ultimately equips them to conduct effective disaster response while reducing risks that similar disasters will reoccur. It also ensures the emergency response does no harm by replacing or reinstating critical vulnerabilities.
