The Tropical Cyclone Seroja event in April 2021 serves as a stark reminder that this province has a high level of vulnerability to hydrometeorological disasters, which is further exacerbated by its hilly topography. The resulting impacts were not limited to physical and infrastructural damage, but also caused disruptions to social, economic, educational, and basic community services, and even claimed a significant number of lives.
However, amidst that emergency situation, we witnessed the rise of solidarity, collaboration, and community resilience. This experience underscores that regional and community resilience is not merely a concept, but an urgent necessity that must be taken seriously.
This book serves not only as documentation, but also as a strategic reference to improve systems, strengthen capacity, and ensure that every lesson learned is translated into better policies and practices in the future.
