Ocean Decade Challenge 6: Increasing Community Resilience to Ocean Hazards
Challenge 6 is a global initiative to increase community resilience to ocean hazards. It aims to help coastal communities prepare for and respond effectively to threats like storms, sea level rise, and ocean acidification.
Factors Affecting Community
Resilience
ocean hazards depends on a variety of social,
economic, and environmental factors
the diversity of the population, the strength of local
institutions, and the quality of infrastructure and emergency planning
Access to resources, income levels, and community engagement
Integrating Traditional
Knowledge and Practices
Leverage the deep, place-based wisdom of coastal communities
Combine modern science with traditional ecological knowledge
Empower local stewardship and governance of marine resources and
hazard responses
Monitoring and Evaluating
Resilience Efforts
Scaling up successful
community-based initiatives
Mobilizing Funding and
Resources
Sharing Best Practices and
Lessons Learned
Bringing together diverse community members to share their experiences,
successes, and challenges in building resilience
Collaborative workshops and forums to learn from each other and identify
innovative solutions
Documenting and disseminating case studies, toolkits, and guidance to

Importance
Protects lives and property from devastating impacts of events like tsunamis, hurricanes, and sea-level rise
Enables faster recovery and restoration of essential services and infrastructure after disasters strike
Strengthens social cohesion and community bonds, which are crucial for weathering crises
Types of Ocean Hazards
powerful storms and flooding to coastal erosion and devastating tsunamis
Impacts of ocean hazards on
communities
devastating ocean hazards
like tsunamis, hurricanes, and sea level rise
Homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure can be destroyed
Fishing and tourism economies may collapse, depriving people of their
livelihoods and food sources
Contaminated water, damaged sanitation systems, and disrupted medical
services
Developing Early Warning
Systems
Advanced technologies like radar, sensors, and satellite tracking
Sirens, alerts, and evacuation plans empower rapid
response
Promoting Sustainable
Coastal Development - *
Developing coastal areas while protecting the environment and supporting
local communities is key
Strengthening Community
Engagement and Education
Fostering Cross-Sector
Collaboration
Leveraging Technology and
Innovation
