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.
