FORWARD
InJanuary2005theWorldConferenceonDisasterReductiondelegatesendorsedtheHyogo Framework for Action (HFA) to guide countries in their risk reductionefforts. Among other priorities, the HFA called on countries to mainstream riskreduction within development and operational planning and also, to ensure thatscientificinputsinfluencecommunityriskassessmentprocesses.
This guideline has been designed to assist Bangladesh to meet the HFAcommitments related to the above issues. The guidelines also provide the criticalinputs towardsassisting in theachievementof thenationalvisionandmission fordisaster management. Successful mainstreaming can only be achieved through abroadrangeofstrategies including topdownpolicy reformandawarenessraisinginterventions and bottom up (community driven) risk assessment and planningactivities. The CRA Guide play an important role in assisting communities anddisastermanagement committees to identify all hazards risk, togetherwith themost appropriate range of risk reduction options that canbe introduced to eithereliminateorreducerisktomoremanageablelevels.
TheCRAprocesscurrentlybeingusedvaryacrossagenciesandinthemaindonotconsiderscientifichazardandriskanalysisinformation,nordotheyconsiderclimatechange variables and the potential these issues would have to change the riskenvironment.ThismeansthatcurrentCRAprocessesareabletoidentifycommunityriskandvulnerabilityfactorsbasedonwhathashappenedpreviously,howevertheydonotnecessarily assist the communities in identifyingwhatmayhappen in thefuture.
UniformCRAguide that ensureappropriate considerationofboth traditionalandscientific factors are therefore viewed by the majority of stakeholders as being acommonsenseapproachtoaddressingtheissueofcommunityrisk.
I therefore extend my deepest appreciation to the facilitators guide developmentteamfortheirgreateffortsinproducingthisbestpractiseguide.

Chapter 1 : Introduction to this Guide
What is CRA? CRA (Community Risk Assessment) is a participatory process for assessing hazards,vulnerabilities,risks,abilitytocope,preparingcopingstrategiesandfinallypreparingariskreduction options implementation plan by the local community. CRA uses scientificinformationandpredictionsandparticipatorydiscourses to identify,analyseandevaluateriskenvironmentofaparticularcommunity, reachconsensusamongst thecommunityonactions that areneeded tomanage the risk environment.Themethod recognizes that thevulnerability, loss, reduction or mitigation strategy and coping mechanism vary fromcommunity to community and group to group (women, personwith disability, landless,farmersfisherfolks,etc)ofasamecommunity.Soitensuresrepresentationofprofessional,comm eirpointsofviewsarereflected.CRAencouragescomm rs concerns.

When is CRA used? Ruralpeople, especially thepoor, landless, fisherfarmers,women anddisable arehighlyvulnerabletohazards.Theincreasingfrequencyofhazardsandsubsequentlossoflivesandresourcesmakesthemmorevulnerable. Consideringall thesefactors, theneed topracticewider participation in preparing risk reduction actions is inevitable, where all thestakeholdersandtheirrepresentativesparticipateinplanningandimplementationprocessesthroughconsensus.At present both nongovernment and government sector projects emphasise theparticipationof local stakeholders forhazardandvulnerability reduction ina sustainablemanner.Governmentagencies inBangladeshare central toanyhazard responseand riskreduction activities. There are also many national, international and UN organizationsinvolved inhazard responseand risk reduction initiatives,whichaim tobenefit thepoorandothervulnerablegroups.CRAwillbeanappropriatemethodforalltheseorganisations.CRA can ensure effective participation of vulnerable communities to achieve their riskreduction goals.CRA can beused at all levels to involve stakeholders fromprofessionalgroups,agenciesanddepartmentsandspecialistsfromvariousdisciplines,topreparelongterm risk reduction actions. It is expected that organizations involved in similar types ofactivitieswillbebenefitedusingCRA.
Who is the guide for? CRA is a comprehensive method to be used by organisations involved in hazardmanagement and risk reduction activities particularly theCDMP and its partnerswhereparticipation is a central consideration. It is also relevant to organisations involved incommunitybasedplanningandmanagementatlocal,regionalornationallevels.The guide is a refresher for those who have already been trained in PRA approaches,disasterriskassessmentandmitigationplanning.It isabasicguidefor thosewhowish tolearnaboutandpracticeCRA.

Who are the Participants of CRA? Participation of both primary and secondary stakeholders of any locality is consideredimportant and essential in CRA. Primary stakeholders are those who reside within thelocality and are directly impacted by any hazards (e.g.women, disable, farmers, fishers,landless). Secondary stakeholders may not be directly impacted but are involved inprovidingsupporttothem,andtheymayhavesomeinfluence(e.g.administrative,legal)orbe affected (either positively or negatively) by decisions made by primary stakeholders.Participation of secondary stakeholders in CRA is therefore very important. Types ofparticipants might vary depending on the locality, occupational groups etc. and theobjectivesofconductingCRA.The tablebelowshowsexamplesofprimaryandsecondarystakeholders in thecontextofBangladesh.Stakeholder Impacted SupportivePrimaryStakeholders

CRA Step 1: Identification of Vulnerable Sectors, & Community Elements Activity1: Identify All Vulnerable Sectors & Community Elements
Objective: Identifythekeysectorswithinthecommunity(e.g.agriculture,housing,livestock, lifelines, industry), key elements (e.g. people,Lifelines/Essential services, infrastructure, livelihoods, houses andpersonal property, community buildings) that could potentially beaffectedbyanyofthehazardsidentifiedinPreCRAsessions.

Socially disadvantaged people particularly children will suffer from malnutrition related diseases due to sever flood
Excessive rain fall in the upstream and opening / releasing sluice gates in the neighbouring countries
Interruption in the drainage system and siltation in the major rivers/ canals
Absence of treaty/ agreement with the neighbouring country in managing flood water.
-Early warning on flood with clear interpretation. - Provision should be in place to rescue marooned people (Specially people with disability, women, elderly)
Provision of safety net program for the socially disadvantaged group of people
(A) Country should have flood management treaty / agreement with the neighbouring country. (B) No development project which may create obstruction in drainage system (C) Each UDMC should have updated Preparedness Plan in hand.
