Flash Flood Risk Management: A Training of Trainers Manual Session 7 as centres for convening community meetings. It is important to remember that when the invitation to attend the meeting is extended by a person respected in the community or by a social worker, that the members of the community will see it as trustworthy. • The meeting venue can be a public place such as a community hall, village council hall, or other location that is convenient for the maximum number of villagers. Note to the trainer (continued) Who should be invited to the meeting? • When inviting community members to the meeting, remember to include people from all walks of life and from all segments of the society. Different people have different types of knowledge and experience, so see to it that the meeting includes a good balance in terms of ethnicity, caste, and gender. Securing the contribution of all groups will best serve the goals of the committee. What initial information is required before the meeting? • To initiate the discussion with the community, collect information on past flash flood events and on the losses that the villagers may have incurred. Discuss what the community can do for flash flood risk management. • Assess the needs of the community with respect to education, awareness, training, weather forecasting, early warning, and demonstration for planning and flash flood risk management. The community can also assesses the risk of flash floods and prepare maps. (Note that the process of social hazard mapping is discussed in the forthcoming session). What can the community do? • Propose the ad hoc formation of a CFFRMC with broad participation and give the committee the responsibility for further planning and activities. Activity 7.3: Structure, responsibilities, and empowerment of the CFFRMC Time: 15 minutes Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Engage the participants in a short question and answer session on how the committee should be structured, how many sub-committees there should be, and so on. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having either too small or too large a committee with respect to general operations and decision making. Explain the structure of a typical CFFRMC. Clarify why an advisory committee is needed and how one can be formed. Remember to mention that based on the needs and on the recommendations of the advisory committee, additional committees can be formed as needed. Present the roles and responsibilities of the CFFRMC and its sub-committees during all the phases of flash flood management, i.e., before, during, and after the flood event. Remember to point out that the committee is responsible for planning, implementing, and monitoring the various activities of flash flood risk management that will help the community be better prepared for a flood disaster. 46
Day 2 Step 4 Step 5 Discuss the different ways that the CFFRMC can be empowered. Stress that institutional and financial empowerment are very important. The different sub-committees each have different responsibilities and a variety of skill types are required to staff them. Discuss the mechanisms that can be used for the financial empowerment of the committee Session 7 Activity 7.4: Characteristics of good community governance Time: 5 minutes Step 1 Step 2 Discuss the importance of governance and enumerate the characteristics of good community governance. Discuss possible dispute resolution mechanisms. Note that a cell, department, or division can be formed within the CFFRMC to deal with dispute resolution. Point out that it is always best when internal mechanisms can be devised to resolve disputes, but that other mechanisms are available when this is not possible. Activity 7.5: Role of government in community flash flood risk management Time: 10 minutes Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Give a short presentation outlining why the government should be involved in community flash flood management. Discuss how the government can participate in community flash flood management, what sort of activities it can be involved in, and how it can collaborate with the community. Explain how the government can be involved before, during, and after a flash flood. 47
