Community DRR Activity 1: Community DRR Resource Centre

As a township situated along the slopes of the Titiwangsa mountain range, Ulu Klang is familiar with disaster risk.  Thus, the residents in the area have taken proactive steps in monitoring their surroundings for any signs of landslides and taking mitigation action.  However, they felt that a DRR Resource Centre for (1) sharing knowledge, (2) strengthening their local capacity through and (3) creating a communal space for discussion among the community members and the government authorities was needed to create a culture of disaster resilience.

Since May 2023, the communities of Ulu Klang have worked together to set up and establish such a centre.  The centre features a gallery of poster displays, 3D terrain model, mini-library of disaster-related resources as well as a physical environment for holding talks and workshops among the community members.

Mission of the DRR Resource Centre

The DRR Resource Centre was set up in 2023 by the communities of Ulu Klang, under the SeDAR Program for the purpose of:

  • Providing a communal space for learning about the physical environment within the community
  • Building local capacity through training
  • Providing access to a science-based material and resources
  • Serving as a meeting place for discussions and dialogues between technical agencies and communities
