This book tackles the question of how we can manage flood-related
disaster risks, such as from typhoons, monsoons, and torrential
rain, which have been intensified by climate change and have
generated unprecedented floods, landslides and debris flows
worldwide. It presents recent conceptual developments in disasters,
risk and resilience, and surveys UN policies on environment and
development as well as disaster management. Sustainable and
resilient development requires an integrated approach and human
empowerment. Japan provides a useful example of effective flood
management and disaster recovery in its current strategies for
river and basin integrated flood management. Very few
English-language books present up-to-date Japanese experiences for
students and professionals in the context of global trends,
relevant to a time of climate change and with global application. *
Outlines an integrated approach to flood risk management in the
context of UN initiatives * Details Japanese good practice
developed through culture and the needs of a changing society
Integrated Flood Risk Management is ideal for professionals working
for environmental agencies, hydrologists and engineers, as well as
students of disaster management and water resources development.
