Community-based risk reduction programs can face challenges like unpreparedness for extremely high magnitudes of natural disasters. Hurricanes of different types are examples of disasters which can result in mass destruction and in such cases there can be community members not prepared completely. This is because there would be unexpected things happening within short periods of time. There can be future challenges like not being able to spend adequate financial resources in building infrastructure for reducing risks in a community by the members of the community-based risk reduction programs.
