Resilient Communities

Building Community Resilience to Disasters:
A bottom-up approach
The South Indian state of Kerala was affected by severe floods on the month of august 2018. Strength shown by the people at the time of floods is immense, especially the fishermen community. This is my academic design project which was based on designing for social cause. It is a study on how communities can become more resilient to disasters like floods through an all-inclusive approach.




Here, I have chosen one particular neighborhood in Kerala, which was affected by flood. I'm developing ideas for systems related to three main categories- Info, Behavioral changes, Spaces and mapping them in this particular neighborhood to communicate to my audience through an example. These ideas contain parameters which can be used to implement the ideas in any flood prone area.
Insights of how a community dealt with flood in their neighborhood:
Please refer to the document below for the complete process:
The following maps are three sets of ideas to be implemented in the flood prone area:
