You live and work in a country that is frequently exposed to heavy rainfall, often leading to floods. With your expertise in digital tools and climate-smart foresight, your National Society leverages disaster risk reduction to save lives, limit the damage a crisis might cause, and help communities effectively prepare for and cope with natural hazards.
Working With Nature To Address Climate Challenges
Nature-based Solutions leverage nature to protect people, optimise infrastructure and safeguard biodiversity. Drawing from local knowledge and existing data, you identify most suitable Nature-based Solutions to protect your community from future flooding:
Systematically Triggering Early Action
While Nature-based Solutions can prevent a lot of damage, more can be done to mitigate the effects of potential disasters on local communities. Your National Society puts a data-driven Early Action Protocol in place which can reduce the impact of floods by activating pre-agreed early actions, based on clearly defined trigger thresholds.
Information Management – versatile and impactful
In anticipation of extreme weather, your National Society is working hard on building information management capacities to accelerate data and digital ways of providing humanitarian assistance, before it is needed. As a digital expert who might also be affected by a potential future storm, you enhance your information management skills within the fields of cash assistance and community engagement and accountability, to ultimately be prepared to support communities when it counts!
