Abstract

The shift in focus from hazards to underlying vulnerabilities has provided disaster managers with a richer understanding of the factors that erode the coping capacities of communities and social systems. This chapter presents ideas such as a globally shared digital platform developed as a functional web-portal branded—A.A.D.I.GYAN—augmenting action for disaster management through indigenous knowledge-gyan. Humanitarian supply chain (HSC), on the other hand, plays a central role to any developmental program meant for sustainable capacity building in the eco-communities. The chapter also highlights that HSC and community-based IK resource management can collectively promote more resilient communities promoting social, economic, and environmental equity and ethical imperatives. Towards this end, system dynamics modeling and simulation can be invoked to capture and simulate the causal dynamics of the inter linkages prevailing within the system and suggest some critical intervention strategies for policymakers.
