Floods are devastating type of disaster that cause contamination of
water sources, disruption of sanitation system and compromised
hygiene all of which in turn embrace waterborne diseases. Promotion
of sustainable adaptations to climate change along with
community-based preparedness is really important to build human
resilience and lessen vulnerability. Being a highly susceptible
country to disasters, Pakistan experienced destructive floods in
2010 with heavy impacts on water and sanitation infrastructure and
caused large proportion of deaths related to diarrhoeal diseases.
Despite neither misery of a rural community nor their approach of
adaptation after flood has yet been sufficiently presented by any
study. Therefore, by emphasizing the problems faced by community
after flood, this study urges the need for particular consideration
and upgrading of these sectors of rural Pakistan. This study
underpins the requirement to integrate active adaptation strategies
in disaster mitigation interventions and develop effective
adaptation tools according to actual needs of the community. It
also helps to support early adapter community and learn lessons
from their adaptation to flood.
