WHOが統合的洪水管理に対する支援活動を開始したというニュースがあったので本ブログで紹介させていただく。


WMO establishes a Helpdesk for Integrated Flood Management

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO, a sister UN organisation) launched a Helpdesk for Integrated Flood Management. The Helpdesk aims to provide guidance to flood prone regions and countries to maxmize the net benefits from flood plains and minimise loss of life from flooding. Some 25 international organisations, NGOs, government agencies and research institutes together constitute the support base for the Helpdesk.

At the occasion of the 5th World Water Forum, Cap-Net signed an agreement with WMO pledging support to the Helpdesk Paul Taylor and Avinash Tyagi, Director of Climate and Water Department, formalized the agreement that makes Cap-Net a partner in the support base. The role of the partner organizations in the support base is to provide technical backstopping, be an advocate for integrated flood management, and give advice to the Helpdesk within the area of its competence.

More information on the Helpdesk for Integrated Flood Management can be found on this web site: www.apfm.info/helpdesk.htm
