A Pathway towards genera0ng Resilient Rural Communities in India
Rural Resilience (Focus) Inherent Vulnerabili0es to health, livelihood, housing owing to non-­‐availability & non-­‐accessibility to resource, lack of ins<tu<onal capaci<es, etc. Induced Vulnerabili0es by natural hazards, loca<ons & due to Climate Change Focus is o(en on developed urban regions Community Evalua0on (Approach) Par0cipatory Approach in DRR & LM Sustaining the DRR efforts need to understand how community relates itself to the hazard & priori<ses its adapta<on & mi<ga<on ac<on. Applica0on of Science & Technology (Approach) Landslide affected regions of India 1 Western Himalayas 2 Eastern and N.E
Himalayas Western
Ghats
including
Nilgiris 3 Ø Landslides rank third
in terms of number of
deaths due to natural
disasters.
Ø Landslides kill 1
person / 100 Km² / yr.
Ø Estimated average
losses due to landslides
in Himalaya costs > Rs.
550 crores / yr. & > 200
deaths.
Aim Prepare Landslide Disaster Risk Reduc9on Strategies for rural se<lements in selected hilly regions of India Objec0ves
1.  To understand the se<lement dynamics & risk profiles in hilly regions of India 2.  To prepare hazard zona9on maps for selected regions & iden9fy landslide prone areas & se<lements 3.  To study & document the profile of selected se<lements 4.  To assess landslide disaster risks & current adapta9on-­‐ mi9ga9on strategies by local community 5.  To priori9se & implement selected measures for disaster risk reduc9on (EWS) Case study sites Rishikesh-­‐ Badrinath route corridor in UKarakhand Dimapur Region in Nagaland state in NE India.
