This presentation underscored the need for multiple tools and solutions in flood risk management in urban development. It also guided participants in identifying the conditions and barriers for flood risk management success, and how to overcome these barriers.

This presentation discussed the concept of Nature Based Solutions and how they are relevant in flood risk management in Asian countries.

This presentation provided an overview of insurance and flood mitigation structure in the context of the 2011 flooding in Thailand. It also highlighted the role of insurance in significantly reducing government and tax payer losses following a flood event.

This presentation discussed flood risk analytics and the process of devising integrated flood risk management (IFRM) plans. It also explored the National Integrated Risk Analysis tool and how it supports the IFRM process.

This presentation discussed flood risk analysis, and how assessing hazard, exposure, and social vulnerability are vital in the identification of an effective IFRM solution. It also includes real-world examples from the United Kingdom and Japan.

This presentation gave a brief overview on the work that has been carried out under ADB's regional technical assistance project on Strengthening Integrated Flood Risk Management. It also discussed the concept of integrated flood risk management, and included a participation exercise that guided participants in identifying the most important flood management issues and project activities that can address these issues.

This presentation gave an overview of the workshop's objectives and themes, and also featured a quiz to test participants' knowledge of common flood myths.

Developing sustainable, long-term flood resilience requires a management strategy that combines a portfolio of solutions—social, economic, financial, environmental, institutional aspects, engineering, disaster preparedness, insurance, and emergency response requirements. This integrated approach is the only way to manage flood risks especially as climate change evolves.

Achieving Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM) in a seamless manner is possible through the use of a hydro-environmental simulation model. Promoting local ownership of flood forecasts, based on the experience of the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management, remains a major challenge to achieving seamless IFRM.
