Emergency Management of Flood Defences

Emergency Management of Flood Defences

An international working group has published a book with the basic principles of emergency management for flood defences. The handbook is more a practical guidance with principles, issues, methods and examples as well in the preparedness as in the response phase. This describes the problems managers face and possible solutions.
