Enhancing Participation in Flood Disaster Preparedness through Community-based Hazard Mapping

This report summarizes the outcomes of the workshop on Enhancing Participation in Flood Disaster Preparedness through Community-based Hazard Mapping that was conducted from 15 to 24 June 2021. It includes a summary of the presentations, question and answer, and training sessions.  The overall objective of the workshop is to enhance the capacity of community trainers to enhance community resilience towards flood disasters by sharing best practices; training on using the Town Watching approach for preparing community-based flood hazard maps; developing simple procedures for community disaster preparedness; planning for economy-level training; and adapting the Training of Trainers modules for economy-level application. This is to address the issue of increasing flood risk because of climate change and growing human settlements in flood-prone areas.
