This brief is based on an analysis that was performed on the 2010
winter storms that caused considerable damage to coastal
communities in Atlantic Canada. The hazards that occurred were
associated with storm surge, high waves, coastal erosion, and
flooding. The analysis covered a large multisite longitudinal
project, where a participatory action research (PAR) approach was
used to understand how people in 10 coastal communities perceive
and experience extreme weather events and to enhance their capacity
to adapt and improve their resilience. This brief exposes the
outcome of two series of interviews and activities that were
conducted during the project, as well as the lessons learned, and
general elements that should be considered when researchers
collaborate with communities to define adaptation and resilience
strategies. It makes an important contribution to the application
of PAR as an integrated (social-ecological) approach to resilience
and how such an approach can be adapted also to other communities.
