Before we get to the scenario planning, we must understand the present. We have begun with community storytelling sessions where we created safe spaces where residents can share their experiences of flood-induced displacement, loss and adaptation. These stories are the bedrock of our work, providing invaluable insights that data alone cannot capture. We have also conducted participatory mapping sessions, working alongside community members to map flood-prone zones, areas of displacement and resettlement and critical infrastructure related to water and utilities. This will create a shared, visual foundation for our planning.
