Flood Photostories Repository

The Flood Photostories Repository is part of international research on flood adaptation. We want to explore and capture different stories across countries around floods.

What are the challenges, opportunities and best practices when addressing floods in your home or city?
​
This repository aims to explore and capture different approaches across countries against flood. Flood is a global issue but takes different forms and adaptation to floods is particularly context-dependent. There might be niches of innovation across countries, bottom-up or local top-down solutions that might suggest innovative approaches.
 
Storytelling is a qualitative research method used across different fields to bring to light personal experiences, beliefs, and values. Telling stories makes science more accessible and helps in bridging the gap between scientific-based knowledge and community-based experiences. ​We link Storytelling with the Photovoice methodology, proposing our own hybrid methodology. Photovoice is a form of reflective photography that enables them to record and reflect on their concerns, inform research with local experiences, and promote knowledge through collaborative and collective interpretation and dissemination.
