Beschreibung
In her book, Apolonia Diana Sherly da Costa opens a new horizon for local participatory mapping and discussions on river flood resilience. She includes disaster-affected communities in the flood-prone district of Belu on the Timor Sea coast and at the estuary of the Benenain River in the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara on the border with Timor-Leste. Geographic information related to flood hazard distribution maps and the history of flood frequency are included in the discussion as well as in the risk assessment section. By having the community participate and contribute to the risk assessment process of hazard maps and their resilience capacity, there is the ability of behavior adaptivity to provide independent solutions to face flood disaster, which then become a local understanding of each resilience spectrum for themselves. Thus, this Timorese’s local resilience spectrum to face flood hazard based on community perception can become a reference for the wider and global community wherever they are, who are and/or are not in a disaster situation and experience. The community has shown that with awareness, initiative, and willingness to work together and with asset resilience preparation at each post-flood disaster and pre-flood disaster, momentum for future flood risk anticipation can be achieved through a necessary gradual learning of flood disaster management and resilience by and for themselves.
