Abstract
The guide serves as a primer for
decision and policy makers, technical specialists, central,
regional and local government officials, and concerned
stakeholders in the community sector, civil society and
non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The
Guide embodies the state-of-the art on integrated urban
flood risk management. The Guide starts with a summary for
policy makers which outlines and describes the key areas
which policy makers need to be knowledgeable about to create
policy directions and an integrated strategic approach for
urban flood risk management. The core of the Guide consists
of seven chapters, organized as: understanding flood hazard;
understanding flood impacts; integrated flood risk
management (structural measures and non-structural
measures); evaluating alternative flood risk management
options: tools for decision makers; implementing integrated
flood risk management; and conclusion. Each chapter starts
with a full contents list and a summary of the chapter for
quick reference.
