This report summarises the key findings and recommendations from the Y Care International supported Bangladesh YMCA project to carry out a youth-focused disaster risk reduction (DRR) pilot project in Bogra, Chittagong and Gopalgonj between 2013-14. The aim of this pilot project was to increase the awareness, knowledge and understanding of disaster preparedness and management amongst three vulnerable communities frequently impacted by natural hazards. These communities were shown to have limited resilience to disasters and so the project aimed to implement youth-led and community based DRR activities and build the capacity of Bangladesh YMCAs in DRR.
