Measuring the Critical Components of Flood Resilience: Helping Poor Communities Better Prepare for Flood Hazards
Tue. 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Interlocken B
Increased attention to resilience in international humanitarian and development work has spawned a corresponding interest in the measurement and accountability of resilience -strengthening initiatives. Similarly, donors increasingly expect organizations to go beyond claiming resilience actually showing it. This session highlights key lessons from Zurich Resilience Alliance efforts to measure and assess the impact of community flood resilience programming. Panelists will discuss using consistent measurement methodology to determine critical sources of community resilience and the challenges of measuring the complex and dynamic phenomenon.
