Abstract	The goal of this paper is to examine how communities may lessen the effects of disasters. Putting the community first during a crisis is crucial for its prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Prior to the arrival of official assistance, it is the first line of defense to react to the crisis and assist fellow citizens. This exploratory study is based on information and secondary data that were obtained from pertinent sources. The study design is descriptive in nature, outlining the community's initiatives and the courses of action to be taken in order to escape the dire circumstances. In order to promote community-based disaster management, the National Disaster Management Authority of India introduced the Aapda Mitra Scheme in 2016. Children, people with disabilities and members of minority groups are among the vulnerable populations whose needs are met by CBDM, which is implemented in a number of areas including education, health, water, sanitation, transportation, and communication.
