Handling Compounded Uncertainty in Spatial Planning and Humanitarian Action in Unexpected Floods in Wayanad, Kerala: Towards a Contextualised Contingency Planning Approach

Mrudhula Koshy et al.

Summary: This article examines the relationship between long-term spatial planning and short-term humanitarian responses in the context of uncertainty caused by climate change. Through a case study of unexpected monsoon floods in Wayanad, India, the authors demonstrate that compounded uncertainty leads to ambiguity in action, but this can be addressed through a contextualised contingency planning approach.

After the floods, he says he is an environmentalist: Understanding blended roles and organizational boundaries in decision-making under uncertainty during unprecedented floods in Wayanad, India

Mrudhula Koshy

Summary: This article investigates decision-making under uncertainty in the context of Wayanad, India, focusing on short-term uncertainty caused by floods and long-term uncertainty related to quarrying in ecologically sensitive areas. Through empirical findings, the article discusses the individual and collective actions taken by decision-makers before, during, and after the floods, and argues that community resourcefulness and decentralized governance facilitate effective decision-making under short-term uncertainty, while current decision-making regarding quarrying obstructs sustainable long-term planning. The article concludes with recommendations for improving decision-making under long-term uncertainty in contexts with weak institutional mechanisms, chronic vulnerabilities, and resource scarcity.

Angelo Jonas Imperiale et al.

Summary: This paper reflects on the recovery operations following the earthquake in L'Aquila, Italy, and highlights the role of local authorities in using emergency powers, command-and-control approach, and top-down planning. It discusses how this management style led to the establishment of 'disaster capitalism' at the local and national level, violating human rights and hindering local communities from learning and building resilience.
