This issue of Protifolon focuses on how local communities in six countries in South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan) are managing risk. It looks at how they are coping with and preparing for possible disaster in their villages. Local communities are often the most directly affected by disasters but they also possess important local knowledge, passed down through generations, to manage risk.
