Abstract

​​​​​​​Flood is considered one of the major hazards responsible for extensive damage across the globe. The number of flooding events is a constant rise over the past decades in India, with chances of a likely increase over coming years with the warming climate. These constant recurring floods are a burden to the economy. This study focuses on researching the flood resilience measures taken by small-scale industries in Kerala pre-and-post-2018 and 2019 flooding events; with a focus on the five largely inundated districts of Kerala during the period.
