Recommendations for Disaster Risk Assessment Approaches: Gaza Risk Reduction and Mitigation

The Gaza Risk Reduction and Mitigation (GRRAM) project aimed to create a viable model for designing and implementing disaster risk reduction projects in complex humanitarian emergencies that occur in urban, conflict-prone areas with non-state actors. In this report, several approaches used to assess and analyze vulnerability and capacities are reviewed in order to recommend an appropriate approach for the Gaza context: Participatory Capacity and Vulnerability Analysis (Oxfam); Community-Based Disaster Preparedness (CRS); Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (IFRC); Participatory Risk Assessment for Informal Settlements (UTC).
