True. Community-Based Risk Assessment (CRA) is indeed community-centered. It is a participatory process for assessing hazards, vulnerabilities, risks, and the ability to cope. It involves preparing coping strategies and finally preparing a risk reduction options implementation plan by the local community. The method recognizes that vulnerability, loss, reduction or mitigation strategy, and coping mechanism vary from community to community and group to group within the same community. Therefore, it ensures representation of professional, community, and other groups and that their points of view are reflected. So, it’s safe to say that CRA is community-centered.
