Indicators associated with key PMT components that are studied in this research study (adopted from [17,18,26]).

PMT Component Key Indicators Studied
General overview of flood risk exposure of the area
  • Distance of household (HH) from a nearby river considering the flood impact that might happen within a certain time;

  • Distance of HH from flood protection embankment considering the accessibility of households to temporary relocation.

Threat appraisal (hypothetical flooding)
  • Perceived probability of flooding: hypothetical/future flooding, inundation of household (HH), intensity of flooding, severity of flooding;

  • Perceived severity of flooding: damage to HHs and agricultural crops, death of domestic animals, family health, income struggle, livelihood impacts;

  • Fear of flooding.

Coping appraisal (flood preparedness)
  • Existence of hard/structural flood protection measures (raising the plinths/basement of houses, tube wells, and toilets);

  • Soft measures (early flood warning, storing dry food, crop seeds, family-level awareness of flood disaster, developing an evacuation and relocation plan, saving valuable assets);

  • Institutional network (having connection with different stakeholders, including GOs and NGOs, for assistance during and after the crisis, including taking loans);

  • Non-responsiveness towards flood protection actions.

Threat experience appraisal
  • Previous flood experience and associated damage scenario;

  • Access to assistance from stakeholders.

Reliance/belief on DRR intervention
  • Dependency on flood protection embankment;

  • Dependency on the flood risk reduction interventions of NGOs.

Socio-economic information
  • Gender;

  • Educational status;

  • Monthly income;

  • Alternative source of income.
