The three neighbourhoods we worked with are all located within the perimeter of urban and rural land. These are informal settlements where self-building is the norm and exposure to risk from landslides is very high

Alex Abiko from @usponline presents the internationalisation of our project which took place in vila Nova Esperança in São Paulo. We have been testing to what extent our pilot project in Medellín can be applied in a different (international) context.

A key lesson of working w/ vulnerable communities is that any risk monitoring needs to be a participatory excercise so residents learn to ‘read’ their terrain. By comparing this with the way they read boiling milk in a pot, they understand the nuances of landslide-risk signals.
