Short summary
This study addresses data gaps in urban neighborhoods often excluded from official hazard maps by co-developing a vulnerability assessment framework with community researchers in El Pacífico, Medellín. Through participatory methods, we created detailed building-scale hazard maps, improving community planning and advocacy for public interventions. This approach highlights how local knowledge can enhance risk assessments and support disaster risk reduction in marginalized areas.
