Effective community-based disaster management for health promotion can be achieved by learning from the successful local and international experiences of community participations. Thus, this study is aimed to identify the community active participation approaches which were effective in promoting the health of disaster-affected communities.<br><strong>Methods:</strong> This systematic review was conducted and reported based on PRISMA guideline. Web of Sciences, PubMed and Scopus were searched using the selected keywords. The inclusion criteria were all forms of published articles which studied the approaches of community active participations for improving their health in disasters. The selection of articles was conducted using the titles and abstracts. Data analysis was done based on the categorization of different community-based disaster management approaches. <br><strong>Results:</strong> 10 articles were finally selected out of 2843 documents generated by initial search. Asian countries considered community involvements in disaster management the most (40%). The most community active participations in disaster management were conducted in the recovery phase (80%). Approaches of community-based disaster management for the health promotion were two-way university-community participation, focusing on empowering specific community groups, governance, and localizing community participation as well as strengthening social networks.<br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Considering the capacities of academic institutions for active participation in community-based disaster management according to the Yokohama, Hyogo and Sendai Framework is highly suggested. Further research is needed to explore the challenges of community communication and information in disasters.<br><br> https://www.jimc.ir/article_166625_f5b8a55ddd1d2ef9c43c12c75e62bf73.pdf
