| RECOMMENDATION OF IFNet |
| February 2005 |
| by IFNet Secretariat |
Floods occur every year in many parts of the world claiming human lives and causing property damages on a large scale. Although continuous and steady efforts have been made to reduce flood disasters, statistics of flood disasters seem to point to an upward tendency contrary to our expectations. IFNet, bearing the task of flood disaster reduction through network activities, presents these recommendations as a summary of the 2nd General Meeting of IFNet held on 19 Jan. 2005 in conjunction with UN WCDR in Kobe. >>> Full Report

FLOODS, HEALTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE: A Strategic Review |
| February 15, 2005 |
by Dr Roger Few

Flooding
is one of the most widespread of climatic hazards and poses multiple
risks to human health, yet there has been little systematic research
work on health outcomes and the means by which vulnerable populations
and health systems respond to those risks. Given the prospect that
flood hazards may increase as a result of climate change, it is timely
now to make a strategic assessment of the existing knowledge base on
health and flood risk. The findings of a global review project funded
by the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research are now
available. The working paper presents a wide-ranging review of global
literature on health impacts and coping responses relating to flood
risk, and discusses the implications of climate change and future flood
risk for health burdens, adaptation processes and policies. Floods,
health and climate change: a strategic review Tyndall Centre Working Paper no. 63[]. It runs to 138 pages. A 4-page Executive Summary is also accessible
from the working paper series webpage.
