Liberia Community Report

The South Florida Disaster Resilience Initiative (FL DRI) is a community-based initiative building resilience through three major activities: training, assessments and community forums.

Upon completion of a leadership and technical skills training program, Community Captains led a series of activities in selected communities located in Broward or Miami-Dade county. Community captains lived, worked, or worshiped in the community they served and led the following activities:

  • Community Vulnerability Assessment to identify the areas in the community that are the most vulnerable
  • Housing and Emergency Shelter Survey to understand residents access to information and level of preparedness during hurricane Irma and for future hurricanes
  • Skills and Equipment Inventory to build a network of skills and equipment within the community for future natural disasters

The data gathered by the Community Captains provided a snapshot of the present vulnerability state of their community, and high priority areas requiring urgent attention.
