Introduction

In the given scenario, Trondheim is a densely populated city highly susceptible to floods caused by heavy rainfall. However, the municipality faces financial constraints and lacks disaster management authority. Inspired by the crisis scenario of a quick clay landslide in Trondheim described in the DSB report in 2019, we selected Bakklandet as our scenario due to its high risk of heavy rainfall leading to a landslide. This interplay of contingencies highlights the critical importance of risk management and contingency planning.

tTo tackle this challenge, we have chosen to adopt a frugal and local approach in developing our contingency plan. Drawing from relevant theories, we aim to proactively address risks and uncertainties associated with flood events. Our central focus will be on actively engaging local communities throughout the planning process. For this, we will rely on theories that emphasize the social dimension and community resilience. They will guide our approach in engaging with the communities effectively and their knowledge and experiences integrated into the contingency plan.
