| Summary: | This technical note provides an overview
for authorities who wish to conduct flood hazard and risk
assessments and who must develop a step-by-step plan for
carrying out the assessment that is appropriate and feasible
in the local context. It is important to keep in mind,
however, that many aspects of flood hazard and risk
assessment requires specific expertise and experience. It is
not advisable to conduct these assessments if your team
lacks this experience, and this technical note does not
provide specific guidelines, which can vary dramatically
depending on local and regional conditions. |
