Indigenous coping mechanisms for disaster risk reduction can be categorized into four broad groups: economic/material, technological, social/organizational, and cultural. Economic/material coping includes practices like economic diversification, storing food, and savings. Technological coping involves land management strategies and adapting to repeated disasters. Social/organizational coping relies on kinship networks, mutual aid groups, families, and communities providing charity. Cultural coping comprises faith and religious beliefs as well as recognizing religious institutions.
