The event, jointly organised with the municipality of Bonn and United Nations University EHS, initially reviewed measures taken to prevent flooding, including institutional innovation and new forms of collaboration and news structures of response teams in local municipal administrations. The objective of the meeting was to explore new perspective for future preventive and response measures: for any planning a better and more precise understanding of the current predictive capabilities is needed. For advanced flood risk management, more individual engagement of riverine communities will also be needed.
