Managing Flood Risk : Draft New Zealand Protocal

Abstract

This Flood Risk Management Protocol provides regional and unitary councils with an improved framework for managing their flood risk management responsibilities. It is the first step in improving flood risk management across local government. Similarly it offers an opportunity to central government to work cooperatively with this framework, thereby improving their contributions and providing seamless support to communities. A similar opportunity is extended to Professional Associations, tertiary education institutes, Crown Research Institutes and consultants.
