prevention and measures of flood
Answers
Answer:
Four components of prevention flood disasters in Australia are of key significance:
1. Flood prevention is designed to prevent dangerous floods from occurring, or at least to make it more difficult for them to occur (measures such as forestation or removing impermeable surfaces in the catchment area to increase local water storage.
2. Flood control is supposed to prevent high-value areas from being flooded (e.g. dykes, detention basins, dams).
3. Loss mitigation limits the material losses if the flooding of a building cannot be prevented (e.g. flood-proofing, evacuation).
4.Financial protection – usually in the form of an insurance policy – protects against financial ruin, enables immediate reconstruction and is a key factor in managing risk and building high resilience.
