This document is a role-playing exercise guide designed for a group discussion, featuring a persona of an elderly woman in South Asia facing economic instability and physical vulnerability during flood events.

• The persona is an elderly woman with limited mobility who relies on irregular remittances from children working as domestic workers in a mega-city and rental income from a tenant farmer who is failing to pay rent due to decreasing farm yields.
• Floods negatively impact the persona's financial security by reducing the crop yields of her tenant, thereby decreasing her rental income, which is critical because she is too old for physical labor.
• The persona expresses interest in a disaster risk reduction volunteer network and a government safety net scheme providing food vouchers, though she remains concerned about receiving timely health and safety assistance during water logging events.
