The purpose of this project was to conduct research on flood resilience in Gorakhpur, eastern Uttar Pradesh. ISET-International and local partners worked to identify strategies for integrating disaster risk management and climate adaptation into local policy. Floods in India have caused large-scale damage to agriculture, housing, and health. Though disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation approaches have been established in national programs, such programs seldom integrate into subnational levels due to lack of capacity of the relevant departments or organizations. ISET-International and partners led a case study on the Gorakhpur District Disaster Management Authority, focusing on the systemic factors that contribute to flood resilience. Throughout this project ISET-International and partners worked with organizations, academic institutions, and stakeholders in the Gorakhpur area to collect data and identify possible improvements in disaster risk reduction at a subnational level.
