Highlights
- The research focused on two isolated communities and looked into how information and strategies were communicated in times of calamities
- In certain instances strategies utilising posters were proven ineffective as a large number of residents did not know how to read
- Strategies involving co-funding from local governments were also ineffective due to limited funds
