" That such floods can arise without warning, and even without rain in the area, makes them especially dangerous. As flash floods typically occur along rivers, streams or in low-lying areas, the presentation will outline some of the major flash flood threat areas in our region. Estimates of potential damage will be given, based on the density of buildings, property and people in the potentially affected areas. The patterns of flash floods are less predictable and there is little advanced warning, which means that most flash flood management strategies are preventative in nature (i.e. keeping houses out of the most threatened areas).
The resource requirements for managing these flood risks will also be outlined in the presentation. There is a considerable amount of work that must be done, and this work needs to be highly coordinated. The different agencies and bodies responsible will be highlighted, and each strategy will be outlined with respect to the financial and human resources, and time required...
The presentation will break the management strategy down time wise, including long-term projects, short-term projects, pre-storm actions, in-storm actions and post-storm actions. The different needs -- food, medical, search & rescue and flood control will all be highlighted, so that all stakeholders understand not only the risks associated with flooding but the different steps that need to be taken to manage this risk effectively.
