Next Generation Scenarios Guidance
The guidance lays out a process to develop credible disaster scenarios that result in efforts to change policy and mitigate risk, including ways to engage stakeholders at every step. Communities can apply these powerful approaches to reduce their risks from earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and volcanic eruptions. The methods support locally owned, locally led, locally sustained resilience, especially in low-resource contexts. Findings are based on extensive interviews with over 150 practitioners in Nepal, Ecuador, New Zealand, and California, USA, research of past scenario efforts worldwide, and emerging approaches.
