| description | <p>Floods remain a wicked problem and are becoming more destructive with
widespread ecological, social, and economic impacts. The problem is acute in
mountainous river catchments where plausible assumptions of risk behaviour
to flood exposure and vulnerability are crucial. Inclusive approaches are
required to design suitable flood early warning systems (EWSs) with a focus
on local social and governance context rather than technology, as is the case
with existing practice. We assess potential approaches for facilitating
inclusiveness in designing EWSs by integrating diverse contexts and
identifying preconditions and missing links. We advocate the use of a
SMART approach as a checklist for good practice to facilitate
bottom-up initiatives that benefit the community at risk by engaging them at every stage of the decision-making process.</p> |
