the Asia Foundation with financial support from United States Agency for International Development/Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) launched a Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) project with support from China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs to train community members and local government officials in China.
