BACKGROUND
- There must be a shift of emphasis from reactive to proactive action.
- Flooding is often a very local problem that can benefit from natural
and international assistance if this can be mobilized.
IFNet facilitates the identification and solution of problems, without
imposing on the rights of the local and national authorities concerned.
