This grant is for developing a ‘Good Practices’ manual on natural resource-based flood risk reduction, specifically aligned with OFDA’s vision. The manual will introduce the science and practical application of natural flood mitigation at community and municipal levels, with the goal of enabling scaled-up, integrated benefits across watersheds. Currently, no specific guidance exists to help communities and practitioners understand natural flood management, implement local measures, or address associated challenges. This grant aims to fill that critical gap, providing clear, actionable instruction for effective, nature-based flood risk management strategies.

| Description: | The purpose of the manual will be to introduce the practice and the science of using natural methods of flood mitigation on a community or municipality level. It is hoped that these methods can be scaled-up amongst neighboring communities for a multiplicative benefit to the watershed in an integrated manner. Several documents exist online and in print discussing some of the concepts OFDA envisions being incorporated, but no specific guidance exists to assist communities and practitioners in understanding what natural flood management is, how to implement mitigation measures at a local level, and how to address any pitfalls/conflicts associated with such interventions. |
