Building Disaster Resilient Communities (BDRC) project Vulnerable communities in Jamaica (to date, the Project has been implemented in 14 communities in 11 parishes). Overall goal is to ensure that communities island-wide are resilient to natural disasters and work well and closely with local and central government agencies and actors in a networked system to take sustainable long-term hazard prevention measures. Project interventions include: training selected vulnerable communities in disaster mitigation and emergency response; supporting communities to develop emergency response and mitigation teams and plans; stimulating community-level mitigation by providing support for community projects identified through the training and disaster plan development processes; and supporting sustainable partnerships in disaster mitigation and emergency response at community, parish and national levels.

It aims to give community leaders and members a general understanding of climate change and provide some ideas for action. The first two modules help practitioners to gather relevant information on the project and its context, as well as on climate hazards and emissions in the project area. Module 3 deals with current coping strategies, i.e. how people deal with climatic risks today. Module 4 looks at the most important resources for the project’s beneficiaries, with a view to identifying the livelihood resources that are most affected by climate risks, and those that are most important to the current coping strategies. Module 5 looks at how the project activities affect those livelihood resources, while module 6 takes practitioners through some potential emissions sources and sinks, and analyses Comments +Caribbean specific material (DR, Haiti, Jamaica) ± Focus climate change. Does not make a strong climate change/DRR connection ±Focus on community projects, hence no DRR linkage +Step by step suggestions on how to review community projects, assess climate threats and revise projects to take them into account. +Includes tables (tools) for collecting and recording information for each module. 27
