After all, it is the local government units that are legally mandated and morally bound to protect their constituents from harm and danger posed by disaster risks. They have to promote and realize safer communities. The handbook has two parts. The first part consist of the “Facilitators‘ Guide”, which contains four modules that provide a step-by-step instruction on how to facilitate the training.The second part contains the “Sourcebook”, which contains the reference materials or the required readings.
