The ongoing repercussions of recurrent flooding on the lives and livelihoods of communities in flood-prone regions of Africa have entrenched these populations in a detrimental cycle of devastation and poverty. This study explores how risk communication and preparedness shape resilience in Yenagoa, Nigeria, a region severely impacted by recent floods. The outcomes of this study will improve policies and operational practices for improving community flood resilience while contributing to the existing literature.
