This chapter is based on a phenomenological study that provides a local definition of climate resilience in the context of flood hazards. The lived experience of eight persons, aged sixty years and over, living in the Barbadian communities of rural Belleplaine, St. Andrew and urban Holetown, St. James are treated through the lens of hermeneutic phenomenology, resilience theory and environmental justice. Three themes were generated, including “having trust in God,” and “having a knowledge of how surface water flows in and around the community.” The last theme is “having a reliable social support group of family or friends” that is coupled with “a reliance on the government’s flood recovery process”. In Belleplaine, St. Andrew elder climate resilience exists despite the reality of the inequity in civic resource distribution to the community. In contrast, despite significant civic resources in coastal, urban Holetown, the elderly here continue to experience frequent and severe flooding. Social workers have the responsibility to bridge gaps in elder flood preparedness, as well as to advocate on behalf of the elderly for the inclusion of their local knowledge in disaster management plans.
