Agreed.... "risk management" would include the following:
  1. assess the probability of future floods
  2. assess the vulnerability of populations & critical assets to flooding
  3. determine the cost of future losses based on the above.
  4. identify ways to reduce those costs (eg Dams. levees, canals, building codes)
  5. prioritise flood mittigation measures based on a long term strategy
Bugger...where does high speed broad-band fit into this???
