Purpose:
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) offers a major contribution to the building of safer, resilient communities, which is central to International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. With the world becoming increasingly unsafe, it is important to build on the foundations of previous endeavours, do more of what effectively works and also to make them more systematic as well as enhancing our performance to address the objectives of safety and resilience. Thus, the framework for community safety and resilience is concerned with what contributions the Red Cross Red Crescent to establish a foundation on which all Red Cross Red Crescent programmes, projects and interventions in DRR and all actions which contribute to the building of safe and resilient communities can be created, developed and sustained.
