My Key topic of interests are:
Blending traditional technology with modern and scientific .... Resilience of community cooping mechanisms... & Governance of Good Practices.....
Awareness building: It is imperative that for implementing participatory approach in flood disaster management and to make it effective, awareness about any disaster event and the role of all concerned should be clearly understood. For this purpose the government, NGOs and others concerned should undertake concerted efforts.
Coping Mechanism and Vulnerabilities: As people remain vulnerable to various kinds of critical factors, they build their own coping strategies and mechanisms to deal with those. Individual, group, or community who remain successful in devising coping strategies to respective vulnerabilities gradually build ‘interfaces of resilience’. Contrary, those who fail to build adequate coping strategies become transiently vulnerable to host of pressing factors.
"Every lesson has a valued topic to learn"
Every year flood teaches a lesson to the society to create a new chapter.......
I am very interested on:
Flood zoning and risk mapping Flood Proofing and Shelters ICT based Flood Response system
You could find some useful lessons learned on coordination for the study in the recent Inter-Agency Real-Time Evaluation of the Response to the February 2007 Floods and Cyclone in Mozambique, May 2007, by John Cosgrave, Célia Gonçalves, Daryl Martyris, Riccardo Polastro and Muchimba Sikumba-Dils
