A guide to best practice in flood risk
Guidance on best practice principles as understood in Australia.
A team of experienced flood planners from around Australia prepared the manual. It is part of the Australian Disaster Resilience Handbook Collection.
This is important when managing flood risk and developing floodplain management plans. This could lead to fair and sustainable floodplain use across Australia.
The Handbook includes an overview of flood risk management. It also covers an understanding of flood behaviour risk. It details community level mitigation options and management processes.
The Handbook includes information on:
- Understanding flood risk
- Flood risk management
- Flood behaviour
- Planning and development controls
- Infrastructure e.g. dams, floodgates, and levees
- Data collection and studies.
