Mainstreaming some of the actions taken by the institutions during floods can help cities to better their coping mechanisms and build climate resilience. Best practices can be derived to strengthen the existing risk handling capacities of the city as well as to learn lessons and replicate similar initiatives for preparedness across some of the other Indian cities.

TARU Leading Edge expects these case studies will help urban local bodies and other government agencies understand some of the challenges that are likely to emerge during urban flood disasters, and use some of the learning to create cooperation and collaboration mechanisms to ensure efficient rescue and response operations in the future.
