Disaster Management QUESTION #6547
Question 1
What makes the localization of DRR more effective than purely top-down approaches?
  • It's cheaper
  • Local actors have contextual knowledge, community trust, and ability to tailor solutions to specific vulnerabilities and capacities✔️
  • It requires less coordination
  • It reduces government responsibility
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 13.4 emphasizes that local actors (communities, district authorities, CBOs) understand local risks, have community trust, and can implement context-specific solutions. Effective DRR combines local knowledge and ownership with technical and financial support from higher levels.
