Community vulnerability to cyclones: An empirical evidence from rural India to improve resilience

Kelechukwu Kelvin Ibe Owen Chiweshe Mercy Ichiko Ola Shiva Prasad Kollur

Abstrak

India experiences various natural disasters each year, leaving communities with significant consequences. The eastern coast, particularly Odisha, is the most cyclone-prone region globally. Rural and remote communities in the state are not immune to the effects of these cyclonic events and often suffer more heavily. This study utilized primary data from the participatory rural approach and secondary data from the relevant literature to understand the impact of natural disasters on remote communities. Vulnerability was also assessed via a six-dimensional framework encompassing natural, institutional, physical, economic, social, and technological aspects. Evidence from the rural community study indicates impacts across all dimensions at different levels. These were discussed for targeted risk management and strategic planning to enhance resilience, improve recovery, and minimize impacts.
