Flood Risk Management

Paul Sayers, Li Yuanyuan, Gerald (Gerry) Galloway,Edmund Penning-Rowsell, Shen Fuxin ,Wen Kang, Ch - Personal Name;

The concepts of flood risk management (FRM) have been widely embraced over the past decade. In many instances this conceptual acceptance has resulted in changes to decision-making practice, highlighting risk management as potentially more complex, but more efficient and effective in delivering multiple goals, than a traditional engineering standards-based approach.
In particular, the emergence of strategic FRM is enabling a longer- term, catchment-wide perspective to emerge. The decision process is based on an explicit trade-off of the whole life-cycle risks reduced, opportunities promoted and the resources required. In doing so, the advantages of adopting a portfolio of integrated multisector responses (including structural and nonstructural measures as well as policy instruments), have moved centre stage.
