of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR). The program aims to share
knowledge and best practices in community-level disaster
preparedness in Asia. It seeks to highlight and raise more
financial support for the most innovative and effective disaster
preparedness initiatives in many at-risk communities in the
region. </span></p>
