There would be Cloud bursts (global climate change), land slides and washed away resources • Vulnerability Risk Population is highly vulnerable to shocks – Unprepared without access to Social/Health/Skill/Economic capacities • Unaddressed Vulnerability + Natural Phenomenon ≡ Uninvited Disasters Each day is a disaster – People are living in it, while we may call it “resilience” – it is the problem of TINA
Capacities • Emphasis of Government and Community – Tourism Centric – Six month of work with a six month struggle. • Low levels – Subsistence level Agriculture/ Horticulture / Livelihoods - Linkages • Skills at Basic – Communication Rudimentary • Caste dynamics brushed away • New Infra Projects – Development & Disaster
