Based on the original guide; Sustainable Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) Practices in Asia, A User's Guide, published in 2004, this publication has modified to specifically address climate change adaptation (CCA). This Guide should be considered general criteria which might, and highly likely would, vary from country to country. Therefore, a Country-Specific User's Guide for Community Workers has been developed separately in three project countries in order to more effectively and practically address the issues being faced at the community level of the respective project countries.
