This article summarises diagrams which are used to discuss the key elements of disaster risk management (DRM).

The paper also includes a DRM planning diagram, which illustrates how government DRM plans, particularly at lowest levels, are complemented by NGO community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) initiatives.

This is an accredited workshop, where the course plus follow-up assignments can earn eligible candidates accreditation towards graduate level development studies programs as offered by the Australian Deakin, RMIT and Murdoch universities.
