Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM)

Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM) is an approach that combines various strategies to reduce the impacts of flooding on communities and the environment. It involves cooperation among governments, local organizations, and citizens to analyze flood risks, plan for potential flooding events, and implement measures such as improved drainage systems, land use planning, and community awareness programs. IFRM aims to balance economic development, environmental protection, and social resilience, ensuring that all aspects of flood risk are managed comprehensively and sustainably. In essence, it’s about working together to keep communities safe from floods while promoting ecological health.
