There are currently five Flood Resilience Portals: four POST-EVENT REVIEW CAPABILITY The award winning Post-Event Review Capability (PERC) methodology was created by Zurich Insurance to provide research and independent reviews of large flood events. It seeks to answer questions related to aspects of flood resilience, flood risk management and catastrophe intervention. It looks at what went well, as well as opportunities for improvement, and results in a set of recommendations DISASTER RESILIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This 2-pager highlights an alternative way of organising the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction, along sector-based lines, and reiterates three strategies for pursuing effective disaster resilience for sustainable development. PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES NOW: INFORMATION TO GET READY This framework is designed to launch a process of learning about citizen preparedness in case of emergency. Author: Federal Emergency

UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY-LED RESILIENCE: THE JAKARTA FLOODS Disasters contribute to the complexity of urban problems such as water and sanitation, waste management and infrastructure damage. For some countries illegal settlements, slum areas, urbanisation, internal migration and employment dislocation exacerbate these problems. SUSTAINABLE FLOOD RESILIENCE IN REFUGEE CAMPS; COMBINING Coventry University carried out research into sustainable drainage in camps for refugees or internally displaced persons. The objectives of the programme are to create, assess and disseminate findings concerning sustainable greywater management systems and other aspects of surface water management in camps.

COMMUNITY- AND NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR INTEGRATED URBAN Successful cases of integrated urban flood risk management (IUFRM) have demonstrated significant results not only in reducing the negative impacts of urban floods, but also in enhancing ecological services and raising community awareness of flood risk and ways to

mitigate it.

WHY ARE WOMEN MORE VULNERABLE TO FLOODING IN INDIA In India, floods are the most frequently occurring natural hazard, accounting for 47% of all natural disasters and claiming 1,700 lives per year on average. Although studies have shown women to be more vulnerable to natural disasters, so far there is little information on whether or how floods disproportionately impact women in India.. A new study attempts to address this lack of data.

MEASURING RESILIENCE POST-EVENT REVIEW CAPABILITY The Post-Event Review Capability (PERC) methodology was created by Zurich Insurance to provide research and independent reviews of large flood events. It looks at what went well, as well as opportunities improvement, and results in a set of recommendations for the future.

MEASURING RESILIENCE FLOOD RESILIENCE MEASUREMENT FOR COMMUNITIES This methodology allows users to quantify the level of resilience for a given community or area. It is currently being piloted by the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance and requires a restricted login to access.
