Project Background & Objectives
Flooding is a natural and inevitable part of life in Ireland Floods pose a risk to human life and wellbeing, cause extensive
damage to property, and can often have severe environmental consequences
Flooding may become more frequent and severe due to climate
change
Historically, structural or engineered flood protection measures were
used, new policy requires more sustainable management with increased use of non-structural and flood impact mitigation measures
- n a catchment basis.
SLIDE 7
Project Background & Objectives
A preliminary flood risk assessment (PFRA) identified areas where
further assessment is required
Food risk and hazard maps will be drawn up for these areas by 2013
and flood risk management plans by 2015
The plans will represent an environmentally, socially and
economically appropriate long-term strategy to manage flood risk and help ensure the safety and sustainability of communities in. However, it may not be possible to find flood management measures that are technically feasible, cost effective and environmentally sustainable in all areas susceptible to flooding
