Flood Resilience Edited by Manuela Escarameia and Andrew Tagg

Flood Resilience provides an overview of research and latest developments in the field of flood management. The book collates innovative ideas, methodologies and practical approaches which address engineering challenges during various stages of flooding, from assessment of vulnerability of flood, through to implementation of protective measures to management of extreme events in order to promote faster recovery after the flood. The book has been created from recent research published by ICE Publishing (purposely diverse and complementary) and aims to provide readers with an overall view of the areas where flood resilience approaches are relevant as well as a snapshot of the advances in research and practice. It illustrates the breadth of ideas, new ways of thinking, and practical implementation in the field of flood resilience, and highlights the absolute need and benefit of working collaboratively with a variety of partners and engagement with the public. Edited by expert engineers with specialisations in engineering hydraulics, flood risk assessment, emergency management and resilience of buildings, the book addresses a wide spectrum of issues in which the ultimate aim is to reduce the impacts of flooding.
