Suggestions for improved flood planning

By Chris Champion posted 06-05-2011 16:36

  
A forum, convened by Engineers Australia and supported by IPWEAvic and Consult Australia, has developed a seven-point plan to be considered for the improvement of flood planning and management in Victoria. The plan was the result of a review of the floods in the state last January.

The forum noted that the performance of government agencies, local government, community groups and private bodies during the floods had been very good, overall, with a low level of injury and only one lost life. This was despite the unprecedented scale of the floods, which meant there were few benchmarks by which to frame the management response.
