Flash Flood Risk Management – A Training of Trainers Manual Session 9 Social Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment Time: 1 hour Objective To appreciate the importance of social hazard mapping and to learn how to implement it by: XX Understanding the concept of social hazard mapping XX Learning how to conduct social hazard mapping with a local community XX Learning about participatory GIS mapping (PGIS) Activities Activity 9.1: Concept and importance of social hazard mapping Time: 10 minutes Session 9 Step 1 Step 2 Introduce the concept of social hazard mapping and explain who prepares the maps and how. Discuss the processes of identifying potential stakeholders who will be involved in the social hazard mapping process. Highlight the fact that while it is important to involve social elites, key informants, and local leaders, it is equally important to involve community members from different castes and ethnic backgrounds and from all socio-cultural and economic groups, since each will be able to contribute a different type of knowledge and experience. Remember to emphasise gender issues and to stress the participation of women. Step 3 Discuss how social hazard mapping can be disseminated to and used by communities and local authorities. Activity 9.2: Process of social hazard mapping Time: 35 minutes Step 1 Introduce how social hazard mapping can be conducted in a community setting with local people who may be unfamiliar with maps in general (RM 9.2). Give practical advice. Make participants aware of possible pitfalls, and also include checklists that should be helpful in conducting on-site social hazard mapping. Step 2 Review the steps of social hazard mapping (detailed in RM 9.2): • Introductions and establishing rapport • Discussion of the map • Familiarising participants with map signs and symbols • Question and answer session • Marking the map • Preparing the legend • Emphasising community awareness 56
Day 2 Note to the trainer Clarify that one of the responsibilities of the CFFRMC is to collect the information that is needed to prepare a hazard map and to prepare the actual map. Alternatively, the CFFRMC can choose to assign the task of preparing the hazard map to another organisation. Regardless of who prepares the hazard map, the steps needed for the preparatory groundwork are the same. Some or all of the following tools and techniques can be used to collect all of the relevant information for the preparatory groundwork: participatory rural appraisal (PRA) methods such as observation, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, key informant surveys, checklists, and review of previous documents and papers to collect information previously recorded about the community. (If the CFFRMC is not preparing the hazard map, then the group doing so should consult the CFFRMC for any additional information it can provide.) Activity 9.3: Process of participatory GIS mapping (PGIS) of hazards Time: 15 minutes Step 1 Explain what participatory GIS-based community hazard mapping is. Mention how GIS and remote sensing databases can be linked with the community-based exercise of hazard mapping. Social hazard mapping, in its most elementary form (as for example in Activity 9.2), uses only community-based knowledge and information. A greater degree of accuracy and sophistication can be achieved by using the PGIS method, which integrates community knowledge with spatial data. Session 9 Step 2 Step 3 Review the methodology of PGIS. Clarify that PGIS involves two steps. The first step is to collect information from the community as already outlined in Activity 9.2. The second step is to integrate the information collected by the community with the spatial data layers to prepare the social hazard map. The information which is collected from the community can be analysed and integrated with the GIS/remote sensing based data directly in the field or it can be processed in the office. In either case, the end result is the flash flood hazard map. 57
