Short summary
This study examines how forms of resilience capital and disaster risk management shape health outcomes after floods. Using data from 66 communities across seven Global South countries, we find that preparedness consistently reduces both injuries and deaths. Social and human capital also help lower injury rates. By combining measures of resilience and disaster risk management, the study offers new insights into how community-level capacities influence post-flood health outcomes.
