以社区为基础的备灾工作的一个关键组成部分是建立一个当地资源数据库，记录提供救灾所需的物质、信息和人力资源的供应商。维护这样一个数据库可以成为社区非政府组织以及公共和私营社区组织之间的合作责任。除了调动资源外，这一进程还提高了社区的认识，并有助于评估当地的知识和资源。本文介绍了一个试点研究的结果，通过与当地的美国红十字会分会和公共和私人社区组织合作，实施以社区为基础的资源数据库。介绍了资源库的设计。资源数据库可以通过互联网访问，也可以使用笔记本电脑和手持个人数字助理离线访问。研究的结论是，CBDP是通过适当的信息技术和非政府组织和社区组织之间的合作关系相结合，加强。
A critical component of community-based disaster preparedness (CBDP) is a local resource database of suppliers providing physical, information and human resources for use in disaster response. Maintenance of such a database can become a collaborative responsibility among community-based non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and public and private community organisations. In addition to mobilising resources, this process raises awareness within the community and aids in assessing local knowledge and resources. This paper presents the results of a pilot study on implementing a community-based resource database through collaboration with local American Red Cross chapters and public and private community organisations. The design of the resource database is described. The resource database is accessible via the internet and offline using laptops and handheld Personal Digital Assistants. The study concludes that CBDP is strengthened through a combination of appropriate information technology and collaborative relationships between NGOs and community-based organisations.
