    Adaptation

    Flood hazard mapping is an exercise to define those coastal areas which are at risk of flooding under extreme conditions. As such, its primary objective is to reduce the impact of coastal flooding. However, mapping of erosion risk areas may serve to achieve erosion risk reduction. It acts as an information system to enhance our understanding and awareness of coastal risk.

    In 2004 the Centre for Environmental and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS) in Bangladesh designed and implemented a project on flood vulnerability, risk reduction and improved preparedness through community-based information. Household and community responses to events such as floods are an indicator of vulnerability and of people's ability to cope with hazards. Being prepared largely depends on the capacity to relate warning information to poor areas, and to tailor this information to specific contexts.
