Flood Disaster
Risk Management (FDRM): Flood Disaster
Risk Mitigation Course is an integrated approach
to development of flood risk reduction strategies
that involves engineering, settlement, development,
public administration, community-based strategies
and land use planning (with environmental
considerations). This multi-disciplinary treatment
of the flood problem and of the requirements
of flood risk management is expected to enable
a holistic view of the situation and the needed
preparedness measures. Cases of responses
at the national and local levels are presented
to give the mitigation measures concrete applications.
The four modules impart the information and
skills in flood problem analysis, understanding
and appreciation of the various approaches
to flood risk reduction, determination of
appropriateness of the strategies and/or measures
to achieve the desired goal of flood risk/damage
reduction.
The course is linked to a number of current
ADPC flood-related initiatives, including
the Flood Preparedness Information Network
(FINE) in South Asia; the Extreme Climate
Events (ECE) program; and the cooperation
between ADPC and Mekong River Commission.
Participants will be exposed to these endeavors,
to learn from their experience and to establish
linkages with them.
