The last three years has brought unprecedented losses in lives and properties as a result of floods. In South Asia, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan were never spared as hundreds were killed and tens of thousands were affected and hundreds of millions of dollars lost. In Southeast Asia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines had their worst flooding in recent memory. From these countries, billions of dollars in cumulative value of investments were lost. In other parts of the globe, African nations experienced their worst mudslide as a result of flash floods. In North and Latin America, the United States, Chile and Peru had their own share of losses.

These development setbacks had to be prevented or at least mitigated. The course will help in realizing this goal. Hence, government, development and humanitarian organizations are strongly encouraged to attend and participants in this course.

Attendance to the course is recommended for but not limited to the following:

• Professionals working in flood disaster risk management

• Policy and decision makers

• Elected and/or appointed national and local officials and administrators

• Development and planning authorities

• Water engineers and flood control professionals

• Officials in urban planning, housing, public works and water resource management

• Emergency preparedness and response personnel

Investment for the course is $1,300.00 without accommodation and $1,600.00 with accommodation. Fees are inclusive of course materials, meals and transportation during exposure visits, lunch and AM and PM snacks during the face-to-face part and certificate upon successful completion of the course.

As part of ADPC’s contribution in the continuing capacity development of professionals amid the impact of COVID-19, we have significantly reduced the course fee. Therefore, we are not offering scholarship at this time.

In order to optimize learning, the course will use a variety of learner-centered approaches that are highly interactive, participatory and experiential:

• Lectures and discussions
