Flood risk management mainly depends on a municipality's ability to intervene early and under optimal conditions. Education and awareness play an important role in flood preparedness and response.
Early warning systems enable the rapid dissemination of crucial information to residents in the event of an imminent threat of flooding. The Flood Risk Management Plan (PGRI) offers a strategic vision of the measures to be implemented in order to minimize the impact of flooding on property, people, health, the environment, cultural heritage, economic and infrastructure.
