## Flood Response Phases - **Preparation Phase** - Action: develop and implement disaster preparedness plans, conduct evacuation drills, and establish early warning systems. - Response: conduct public education on flood risks, ensure emergency supplies are stocked, and train responders on flood scenarios. - **Mitigation Phase** - Action: build flood defenses like levees, floodwalls, or drainage systems, and enforce land-use planning to avoid construction in flood-prone areas. - Response: strengthen infrastructure, such as bridges and roads, to withstand floods, promote the use of flood-resistant building materials, and invest in green infrastructure like wetlands to absorb floodwater. - **Response Phase** - Action: activate emergency services, deploy rescue teams, and initiate evacuation of at-risk populations. - Response: provide immediate medical care, set up temporary shelters for displaced people, and coordinate search and rescue operations. Clear roads and distribute emergency food and water supplies. ## Thank You Any questions?
