The Community-based Pre-Disaster Mitigation Curriculum is designed to involve emergency management and community and faith-based organizations (CBOs/FBOs) in pre-disaster mitigation activities at the local level. The goals of the curricula are to enable participants to discover the role that CBOs/FBOs can play in mitigation activities, determine possible mitigation projects in which they might engage, and better understand ways that CBOs/FBOs and emergency managers can work together.

The material consists of two separate products. Sections A, B, and E are designed for members of community and faith-based organizations and Sections C, D, E are for emergency managers. The modules are designed so that organizations can arrange the material to meet their particular needs and circumstances. There is also a comprehensive resource guide that includes materials and information to support each of the training modules.
