The second round of training is conducted by the Master Trainers to the community leaders and local champions within the 4 project areas.  This training enables the community trainees to teach their respective communities about the various topics introduced in the SeDAR training modules.

The training format follows the same modules and activities as covered in the TOT sessions for the Master Trainers, which are: (1) Understanding DRR Concepts, (2) Understanding Local Risks, and (3) Planning, Implementing and Evaluating CBDRR Program.

Hands-on exercises such as the Disaster Timeline and Problem Analysis as well as the group discussions provided a forum for government agencies and the communities to have in-depth discussions on issues and problems contributing to disasters within their areas.
