Good
practices under taken under the “Flood Emergency Management
Strengthening (FEMS)”, Component 4 of the MRC Flood Management and
Mitigation Program (FMMP) were documented in series of ‘Safer
Communities’. The experiences would be of interested to individuals and
organizations who are contemplating the initiation of similar
activities. Safer Communities is a series of case studies that
illustrate good practices of disaster preparedness and mitigation
undertaken by either the government or non-government agencies with the
goal of reducing vulnerabilities and risks on the communities living in
hazard-prone areas.
The series aims to provide decision makers, development planners,
disaster management practitioners, community leaders and trainers with
an array of proven ideas, tools, policy options and strategies derived
from analyses of real-life experiences, good practices and lessons
learned in Asia and the Pacific Region, with a specific focus on
reducing community risks and vulnerabilities and building more disaster-resilient
and better prepared societies.
