Our changing climate and more extreme weather events have
dramatically increased the number and severity of floods across the
world. Demonstrating the diversity of global flood risk management
(FRM), this volume covers a range of topics including planning and
policy, risk governance and communication, forecasting and warning,
and economics. Through short case studies, the range of
international examples from North America, Europe, Asia and Africa
provide analysis of FRM efforts, processes and issues from human,
governance and policy implementation perspectives. Written by an
international set of authors, this collection of chapters and case
studies will allow the reader to see how floods and flood risk
management is experienced in different regions of the world. The
way in which institutions manage flood risk is discussed,
introducing the notions of realities and social constructions when
it comes to risk management. The book will be of great interest to
students and professionals of flood, coastal, river and natural
hazard management, as well as risk analysis and insurance,
demonstrating multiple academic frameworks of analysis and their
utility and drawbacks when applied to real-life FRM contexts.
