From Hazard Maps to Community Protection Protocols

Maps and models matter — but communities are protected by protocols: who does what, when, with which resources, under which forecast threshold.

CCI’s cold wave guideline, landslide assessment, and coastal AA pilots all share a translation discipline: every technical finding must answer an operational question for a DMC member, shelter manager, or community volunteer.

That translation requires mixed methods

We also insist on GEDSI checks inside protocols — privacy in shelters, outreach to women and persons with disabilities, and consent in data collection during rushed early action windows.

Good climate intelligence is not the thickest report; it is the clearest next action for the people closest to risk

Programme highlights

• Operational questions first
• Hybrid geospatial–community methods
• GEDSI inside protocols
• Clarity over report length

CCI embeds gender-responsive methodologies, disability-inclusive data collection, and intersectional analysis across all fieldwork and reporting — not as an add-on, but as a core design principle.
