The Caribbean region is highly vulnerable to multiple hazards. Resultant impacts may be derived from single or cascading risks caused by hydrological-meteorological, seismic, geologic, anthropological triggers, disturbances, events. Studies suggest that event records and data related hazards, risk, damage, loss are limited in this region. National Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) planning response...

Efforts in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) are widely geared towards integrating indigenous knowledge and science. Several conceptual frameworks have thus evolved co-creating co-designing DRR measures from the standpoint of communities-at-risk. This is claimed to foster optimization sustainability measures. study tests effectiveness this argument based on case floods Rwenzori, western Uganda, whe...

There is growing recognition that using the properties of nature through nature-based solutions (NBS) can help to provide viable and cost-effective a wide range societal challenges, including disaster risk reduction (DRR). However, NBS realization depends critically on governance framework enables policy process. Drawing from three case studies in Nocera Inferiore (Italy), Munich (Germany), Wol...

Effective disaster risk reduction (DRR) presupposes awareness among key stakeholders on the causal factors that exacerbate risks as well a feeling of ownership over proposed DRR measures. Yet, prevailing top-down communication and expert-centered knowledge have limited impact in bringing significant positive change. Serious games respond to need for community-based approach they encourage colle...
