Floods are among the most hazardous and destructive natural disasters with the potential to wreak havoc on humans, material assets, cultural wealth and ecological resources. Several countries have used different flood management and control measures both structural (e.g. constructing levees, dams, storm surge barriers) and non structural (e.g. applying spatial measures, developing flood forecasting and early warning systems) to reduce their vulnerability and exposure to floods. These flood management and control measures can be addressed using the safety chain concept. Originally, the safety…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Floods are among the most hazardous and destructive natural disasters with the potential to wreak havoc on humans, material assets, cultural wealth and ecological resources. Several countries have used different flood management and control measures both structural (e.g. constructing levees, dams, storm surge barriers) and non structural (e.g. applying spatial measures, developing flood forecasting and early warning systems) to reduce their vulnerability and exposure to floods. These flood management and control measures can be addressed using the safety chain concept. Originally, the safety chain concept consisted of four links: mitigation, preparation, response and recovery. Now, the safety chain concept is well adopted in different countries with slight adjustments.
