Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (TIKS) play a significant role in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) by providing locally developed knowledge, practices, and coping mechanisms that have evolved through generations. These systems are based on continuous observation of nature, climate, landscapes, flora, fauna, and environmental changes. In the context of Geography, traditional knowledge contributes to understanding hazard-prone environments, enhancing community resilience, and promoting sustainable resource management. It complements modern scientific approaches by offering location-specific and culturally appropriate disaster management strategies. Traditional knowledge helps communities identify early warning signs of natural hazards. Indigenous people often observe changes in animal behaviour, bird migration, groundwater levels, cloud formations, wind direction, and unusual environmental conditions to predict disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, droughts, and landslides. These observations are based on long-term interaction with local ecosystems and provide timely information for preparedness, particularly in remote areas where technological forecasting systems may be unavailable. One of the major contributions of indigenous knowledge is in reducing vulnerability through settlement planning and construction techniques. Traditional communities have historically selected safer locations for settlements by avoiding floodplains, unstable slopes, and coastal erosion zones.
