Strategic Management of Flood Risk provides a comprehensive and proven approach to managing flood risk in communities across the globe. By incorporating a holistic understanding of the full spectrum of flood behavior, it supports informed decision-making that influences this critical risk. These decisions encompass a range of activities, including:
Reducing risk to existing communities through management measures.
Implementing land use planning strategies to limit the growth of risk associated with new development.
Developing emergency management activities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from floods.
This invaluable book offers a logical framework and deep insights into the consideration and management of flood risk for communities. It explores approaches that account for the variability of risk within floodplains, across different flood events, and at various scales. It further investigates how land use planning activities can be aligned with an understanding of flood behavior, flood function, and the isolation of areas from safety, as well as the associated risks to communities and the built environment.
Featuring full-color figures and diagrams in a color plate section, along with case studies from the UK, USA, and Australia, this book serves as a valuable resource for engineers, town planners, professionals involved in emergency management, and postgraduate students studying flood risk solutions. Its comprehensive coverage and practical insights make it an essential tool for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding and effective management of flood risk in their respective fields.
