Videos on Disaster Risk Reduction
ProVention was established by the World
Bank in 2000 to address the increasing frequency and severity of
natural disasters and their social, economic and environmental impacts
on developing countries. As poor countries continue to be disproportionately
affected by disasters and incur the majority of costs, there is
a growing recognition of the inextricable links between disaster
vulnerability, poverty and development.

From chaos to creativity
(15 min)
Produced by the Groots International
Network, this 15-minute film features footage from three member
groups in India , Turkey , and Honduras who supported women and
their communities to organize and rebuild their lives following
devastating natural disasters. Viewers learn hear how women acted
to redirect relief aid, secure food and shelter, combat corruption,
and later organize themselves to run community women and children
centers and income generating activities following earthquakes and
hurricanes.
Women community leaders describe the
wide gap between the real needs of poverty-affected families and
the official response of governments. This included flawed housing
programs and the neglect of basic services. The film describes how
women were inspired to create collective initiatives to secure their
families' basic needs.
Assessing their gains and losses,
community members articulate why future disaster interventions must
involve (not marginalize) affected citizens in planning and implementing
community recovery and development. Most important, it showcases
how grassroots women must play to anchor disaster response -a central
message of the film.
