What is flood risk management?

Flood risk management is the process of assessing, planning, and implementing measures to reduce the likelihood and impact of flooding on communities, infrastructure, and the environment. It involves analyzing flood hazards, mapping risk areas, developing warning systems, and designing structural and non-structural solutions like levees, zoning regulations, and emergency preparedness plans. The goal is to minimize damage, protect lives, and enhance community resilience in the face of potential flooding events.
