Taheri, S. M. | Mosaedi, A.
Flood management is a technique and strategy to reduce the risk and damage caused by floods, and it specifies the necessity of using efficient solutions through short-term and long-term plans to minimize losses and damages during an accident. Effective flood management requires a coordinated and integrated system for dealing with this natural phenomenon. In this article, the causes of floods and corrective strategies for structural and non-structural (defensive structures, forecasting, rescue operations, and determining residential areas) flood control and integrated flood management are explained. Also, by examining flood risk management strategies in France, England, Netherlands, and Malaysia, flood governance measures in Iran are explained through five approaches of prevention, defense measures, reduction of event effects, disaster preparedness, and recovery, and organizational and non-organizational bodies and institutions effective in risk management are determined. Finally, the factors that aggravate the flood damage in Iran, the legal and practical challenges related to the river bed, and the legal vacuum of universal flood insurance are discussed.
