An Introduction to Flood Risk Management Training

Committee Members: 

The focus of the training programme is to provide a general overview of flood policy in Ireland and the role and responsibilities of Local Authorities in this area, as well as providing guidance on implementing the Planning Guidelines and undertaking or reviewing Flood Risk Assessments.
The training will also provide participants with an overview on how flooding can occur, the increasing risk due to climate change, and how to adapt and build resilience and resistance to this risk.
