Challenges of community engagement in a rural area: The impact of flood protection and policy

Henderson, Fiona / Steiner, Artur / Farmer, Jane / Whittam, Geoff

Highlights • Agreement on rural responses to flooding is complex and contested. • Policy can undermine community resilience through paternalist approaches. • Authorities can undermine resilience by ignoring findings from public consultations. • Risk management policy can add to polarisation amongst at-risk rural communities. • Collaborative approaches can empower resilient communities and avoid polarisation.
