Summary Description<br />
volunteers who wish to undertake<br />
a local-level VCA, as part of their<br />
community programming strategy.<br />
Print Facilitators This manual for facilitators in<br />
Community Based Disaster<br />
Preparedness (CBDP) is the<br />
result of a decade of work of<br />
various Caribbean Red Cross<br />
Societies and draws on the<br />
experience of hundreds of Red<br />
Cross volunteers and<br />
beneficiaries. It also reflects the<br />
priorities that the Red Cross has<br />
developed world wide with the<br />
inclusion of the Vulnerability<br />
Capacity Assessment (VCA)<br />
methodology, a way of working<br />
that<br />
promotes full participation and<br />
encourages integrated solutions to<br />
the challenges that communities<br />
face in becoming better prepared.<br />
The tools, including “step-by-step”,<br />
are a product of the VCA<br />
methodology that the International<br />
Federation of Red Cross and Red<br />
Crescent Societies has identified<br />
as a crucial element in fulfilling its<br />
commitment to improve the lives<br />
