“…After the 2010 flood in Pakistan, NGOs were more successful than the government in improving the overall situation for relocated households, which increased the resilience of resettled communities (Jamshed et al, 2019). And in Bangladesh, a comparative study in coastal villages found that the NGO‐led disaster resilience programme offered more community participation opportunities than the government‐led programme (Islam, Wahab, and Benson, 2022).…”

As rural areas in developing countries are generally more vulnerable to disasters triggered by natural hazards than urban areas, it has become critical to strengthen rural community disaster resilience (CDR) to reduce the risks. Using follow‐up interviews, surveys, and secondary data, this study reviewed the Safe Rural Community (SRC) programme implemented by the One Foundation, a Chinese civilian non‐governmental organisation (NGO), after the 2013 Lushan earthquake in China. The study focused on five key resilience aspects: networks; infrastructure; institutions; capacity; and culture. It found that the SRC programme successfully developed five standardised, systematic, interrelated, and practical elements: localised volunteer rescue teams; adequate emergency supplies; practical disaster reduction training; community emergency plans; and regular emergency rescue drills. Third‐party evaluations and a 2022 Lushan earthquake test revealed that this NGO‐led, community‐based, and team‐oriented initiative had been effective. Consequently, the study provides some guidance for the development of effective CDR programmes in rural communities in developing countries.

Urbanization presents significant challenges to disaster management as cities grow and develop, hence increasing their vulnerability to disasters. Disaster resilience is crucial for protecting lives and infrastructure, ensuring economic stability, promoting equality and cohesion, and ensuring the long-term viability of metropolitan regions in these rapidly growing cities. This paper investigates contemporary approaches to creating smart and resilient urban environments through disaster management that emphasize community-based solutions in prioritizing advanced technologies. The key findings of the research include three factors to be accomplished in utilizing technology in community-based disaster management, trust in the crowd, digital divide, and cultural sensitivity. Moreover, the review highlights the significance of the use of smart technologies in improving urban resilience, including but not limited to real-time data-sharing platforms and ML algorithms. Furthermore, it emphasizes the challenges regarding reliability and accuracy in crowdsourced information, stressing the importance of user awareness.
