Past Event: International Approaches to Flood Risk Management

University of California Berkeley
Institute of International Studies, Philosophy Hall, Room 223
Monday, November 13, 2023 9am-12pm

Flood losses are increasing worldwide because of expanding urbanization in flood-prone lands and flood peaks super-charged by climate change. Across the globe, countries struggle to manage flood risk, drawing upon insurance, structural measures, and land use regulations. What can we learn from these international experiences to inform strategies in North America? In this workshop, a group of researchers, practitioners and policy-makers from the United States, Canada, and the European Union review the state of the art in flood risk management with emphasis on the interface between insurance, mapping, and land use planning regulations.
