Embracing Local Knowledge: Integrating Traditional Practices in Disaster Risk Reduction
Abstract
This chapter examines the pivotal role of local knowledge and traditional practices in enhancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies. Communities across the globe often rely on indigenous wisdom and cultural heritage to address environmental challenges, mitigate hazards, and strengthen resilience to disasters. By emphasizing the value of local expertise, this chapter seeks to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge systems and formal disaster management frameworks. It advocates for a more holistic and inclusive approach to disaster preparedness, where community-based practices are integrated with modern DRR strategies to foster sustainable resilience.
