Resilience measure: Monitoring and flood forecasting through partnerships

definition

Organizing and recording partnerships between the various actors so that optimal responsiveness of the population can be produced in case of a warning of a flood event. Strong need in this area for understanding and agreeing on roles and responsibilities including communication with the public and between agencies. Information from fire events and other incidents can be very useful for training.

Co-benefits and impacts

Better organisation, response and transmission of the information/warning. Implementing such measures for droughts, do not have an immediate short-term impact, however, do have a much longer-lasting impact on the community and requires a coordinated/partnership approach.
