Preparing for more severe floods

So many parts of the world are vulnerable to coastal flooding. Hurricanes and rain events are now more severe partly because the ocean is warmer and evaporation from the sea is increased.

Suggested actions for governments are:

• preventing the erection of any building or services on floodplains  • creating flood retention structures  • better funding emergency services  • reducing polluting carbon emissions  • establishing flood shelters for people and animals  • establishing a service for the rescue of animals and people  • farmer education and research programs which take account of more frequent floods
