“…The inclusion of economic and social benefits, cultural acceptance and social feasibility, consistency with development objectives, and environmental impacts and spillover effects in adaptation measures were emphasized by Leary et al [57]. At the same time, the need for strong governance in vulnerability reduction has been highlighted [58].…”

Socio-ecological systems have increasingly faced climate-change impacts, which have adversely affected the lives and property of inhabitants. The present study aims to prioritize adaptation actions along an altitudinal gradient (<1200 m asl (Zone A), 1201–1800 m asl (Zone B), and >1801 m asl (Zone C)) in Pauri District, Uttarakhand. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed to prioritize adaptation action from 545 randomly selected households in 91 villages. A multi-disciplinary bottom-up indicator-based approach was applied to identify and normalize sectoral indicators, and PCA was used to prioritize sectoral indicators. Adaptation actions were designed with prioritized sectoral indicators along the altitude and stakeholder consultations. The prioritized indicators varied along the altitudinal gradient, and more than 50% of the indicators for the same sector were different along an altitudinal gradient. Sectoral adaptation planning along the altitude is pertinent in the mountain because they contribute to adaptation planning differently. Additionally, the mainstreaming of adaptation strategies with national and regional development measures is also required. Finally, cross-sectoral resource management that combines users, planners, scientists, and policymakers should be formulated along the altitude within the district. These findings contribute to minimizing the gap between policy/program fabrication and local requirements. The evidence-based valuable knowledge for decision-makers could enable Himalayan communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change effectively. Adaptation planning is also critical for designing adaptation projects for the Green Climate Fund, Adaptation Fund, and funds from multilateral and bilateral agencies. It will facilitate Nationally Determined Contributions, which aims to adapt better to climate change by enhancing investments in development programs in vulnerable sectors.

“…Additionally, due to the exceptional expertise in controlling the floods in 2000, the ones in 2001 had a negligible impact on the number of lives lost. In terms of preparation for a low-income nation, Mozambique well surpassed expectations [1,5,7]. Another well documented event is the 1997 storm that devastated the Cox's Bazaar district of southeast Bangladesh, displacing 1.5 million people, where about 127 individuals were killed by the typhoon [2,5,8].…”

“…The rising frequency of most natural disaster occurrences is significantly connected with the constant threat to families and communities in most developing countries since earlier socio-economic weaknesses deficits may amplify the impact of natural disasters, hampering rehabilitation [4,6,7,9]. As a result, the consequences of such occurrences, an instant rise in deprivation and poverty, is observed [6,9,10].…”

“…The authors also discovered that the effect of a damaging storm slows growth by 0.8% in Central America and the Caribbean. Similarly, [6,7,11] stated that various processes such as mitigation techniques, emergency preparation, support, and other factors should be considered to identify the effect of disasters. Nonetheless, [4,6] examined the consequences of tornadoes in the United States and discovered that the impact is not random in all situations since environmental, organisational, demographic, and technical variables all influence the impact of most natural disasters on the environment.…”

“…In other regions, infrastructure is overstretched due to frequent disasters. The 2009 American Societies of Civil Engineers (ASCE) report card for infrastructure assigns an average grade of "D" to U.S. infrastructure, indicating the necessity of immediate restoration and rehabilitation [1,7,9,32,33]. Natural disasters impact vital infrastructure systems, impacting the services and operations of most industries and communities during disaster occurrences.…”

Natural disasters have continued to attract attention due to increased human, economic and environmental consequences. The study assessed the effects of disasters and the effectiveness of the response infrastructure in communities of South Eastern Nigeria. The questionnaire survey, participatory research method and field measurements were used to generate data from purposively sampled locations in the region. The data were analysed using descriptive and analytical techniques. The result showed that flooding, landslide and windstorm ranked as the most common disasters affecting the area. These disasters have significantly resulted in food scarcity (food insecurity) and property loss, representing 26% and 25% of the study population. Furthermore, the study reveals several infrastructures as mitigation measures, including financial donations, reconstruction of damaged buildings, bridges, provisions of household materials, and food, among others. The One-way Analysis Variance (ANOVA) results showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of stakeholder involvement in natural disaster mitigation (F-value of 7.737, > the table value of 2.17 at a 0.05 level of significance). This analysis implies that the activities of government, communities, and donor agencies were rated differently in terms of their overall performances in infrastructure provision to disaster-affected areas and people. It was recommended that disaster management education, early warning signs and participatory disaster management response be practised in South Eastern Nigeria.
