The United States Peace Corps, with support from the US Agency for International Development (USAid), recently launched the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Toolkit, a comprehensive training guide designed to help Peace Corps Volunteers and their partner communities build resilience by enhancing their disaster preparedness capability.

The DRR Toolkit contains resources on developing disaster preparedness strategies, conducting risk assessments, managing community resources, and strengthening early warning systems. As an inclusive training guide, the DRR Toolkit promotes the active participation of all community members in pre-disaster planning.
