Mahila Housing Trust (MHT) and Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe), with support from the Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA), are partnering on the project “Supporting India's National Disaster Management Guidelines by Developing Community-led Templates for Managing Urban Flood”. The project aims to support relevant nodal agencies at the national and state levels by developing templates for urban flood management focused on vulnerable communities’ conditions or preferences.
The national workshop on "Strengthening Vulnerable Community-Focused Guidelines & Action Framework for Urban Flooding in India," jointly organised by IRADe and MHT, brought together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to formulate strategies focusing on vulnerable communities, often residing in low-lying areas or informal settlements. The goal is to strengthen guidelines and action frameworks tailored to these communities, ensuring their needs and vulnerabilities are central to urban flood management strategies.
