17.6 ReflectionsandImplications:ProvidingInsight
atScale forDetectingandManagingErosiveRisk
OurreflectionontheZFRAexperiencestartedoutbyaskinghowanalyticalmethods
and tools can be co-generated and used by experts, practitioners and those at risk
inorder tobuild resilienceagainst climate-relatedhazards (hereflooding).Employ-
ing an adaptivemanagement learning framework (the Shared Resilience Learning
Dialogue) as theboundaryprocess for integration,wepresentedavarietyofdiffer-
ent demand-driven tools andmethods co-generated and used at different learning
stages and across temporal and agency scales in this science-society partnership.
Figure 17.14 graphically charts out the various tools andmethods across time and
agency scales.Many tools focus on present and future insight, while PVCApro-
videsevidenceonpast identificationofhazardsandrisks,andtheforensicscenarios
work fromthepast toprojecting the future.Community-level tools, suchasPVCA,
crowdsourcing,resiliencemeasurement‘speak’toeffortspositionedathigheragency
levels,suchastheRiskGeo-Wikiandfloodriskmodelling.Gamingexercisesandthe
FLORESmodel are nested between scales as potential connectors between global
andlocal insight.Seamlessintegrationofthetoolsandmethodsisoftennotpossible,
but theShared ResilienceLearningDialoguegenerated throughout thepartnership
provides the boundary process that connects the different tools andmethods, and
particularly links theseupwithcommunity-ledprocesses.
TheZurichFloodResilienceAlliance is further gaining knowledge and experi-
ence to use these tools to enhance community flood resilience. The tools outlined
