Cordaid, in partnership with Caritas Myanmar (KMSS), has been working on Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction. In 13 villages, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) committees have been set up, which have been trained to properly mitigate, prevent, prepare for, and respond to certain hazards, mainly floods. Villagers have now received a boat to be able to travel during flooding time, or built an emergency shelter, elevated a road, or constructed a water tank and pipes to be able to get clean drinking water in flooding season.
