The session is devoted to presentations and discussions on the topic of how flood risk management should be designed: what are good practices and what policy recommendations can be derived from this? Professor Colin Green will give a presentation that covers general conditions and important factors for resilient, efficient and legitimate flood risk management. Mrs. Barbara Vael will present the flood risk management strategy of the ‘Vlaamse MilieuMaatschappij’: how are issues of resilience, efficiency and legitimacy implemented at local level? Finally, the results from the STAR-FLOOD research will be presented.
