Integrated Flood Risk Management

Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM) is an approach that combines various strategies, tools, and stakeholders to reduce flood risks effectively. It involves understanding flood hazards, assessing vulnerabilities, and implementing a mix of solutions like improved infrastructure, land use planning, natural defenses, and community preparedness. The goal is to balance environmental, social, and economic factors, ensuring sustainable protection while minimizing impacts on communities and ecosystems. IFRM encourages collaboration among government agencies, experts, and local residents to develop adaptable, comprehensive plans that address both current and future flood risks.
