1. Understand which social assets and activities reduce disaster risk.
   
2. Identifysocial assets(within and outside of council) at the local government level(or region, in the case of multi-LGA DAPs) through a template/tool. 
3. Identifyand document all the activities or services that communityorganisationsprovide (strengths and opportunities).

5. Identify social cohesion actions to build on local strengths and address gaps.
