The International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) has published red book No. 357 on “Floods: From Risk to Opportunity”. In order to implement this concept, a paradigm shift is necessary from focusing on emergency response and recovery to flood risk management. This process should be supported by vulnerability monitoring and development of tools such as standards to measure risk and preparedness level in an integrated approach in order to build capacity for better response to floods by taking advantage of their benefits while at the same time minimizing their social, economic and environmental risks. The book is available for online purchase from the major online book store including Amazon, etc. For more information please visit IAHS Red Book link in the below:
