Flood risk management planning – for example as prescribed in the EU Floods Directive – focuses on the reduction of the potential adverse consequences of flooding for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity, on non-structural initiatives and on reduction of the likelihood of flooding. Flood risk management plans should aim to maximize the benefits of living in floodplains while minimizing the potential burden. They should focus on prevention, protection and preparedness.
