Developing Our Expertise in the Management of Flooding: Some Recent Initiatives

Management of flooding involves many skills and agencies along with flood response operations that involve management of a range of activities in order to minimise the impact of flood by reducing risk of death, injury and property damage within the community. Towards this objective, Management Working Group decided to develop a document summarising a National Approach to Floodplain Management as a guide to best practice. This development work is integrated with emergency management initiatives relating to production of best practice guides in the flood management field.
