In low land flooding, like Hagonoy, where the duration of flood is longer, thus, large-scale measures have to be taken. Therefore, the effectiveness of the best practices depends on among other hydrological and environmental circumstances.
Flood calamities, in recent years, causes vast casualties that demand urgent reaction. The emergency is also stressed by the fact that we face the threat of climate change. Floods can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to a business’s stock, plant, equipment, furniture and fittings as well as be a threat to the safety of your employees and customers. It frequently
takes a week or more to clean up after a flood, adding to costs and stress, and reducing income potential.
River basins must be developed for better flow of water. Preparedness to alert, rescue and safety measures should be planned and implemented at all levels, including the
public, by maintaining regular basic information and continuous ongoing training actions. With appropriate and accurate information, preparedness, everyone who may suffer from the consequences of flood events should be able to take one’s own precautions and thus seriously limit flood damages. If flooding is a known risk, the business must minimize risks relating to flooding for all employees and customers. There are numerous potential risks to the health
and safety of employees and customers associated with flooding, particularly if your business provides accommodation.
