Future risks and uncertainty The likelihood of experiencing higher flood
risk and greater economic damage is certain as long as climatic conditions continue to vary or change rapidly.
Different levels of government are yet to issue mid/long term strategies that clarify the role of individual firms and various government ministries, agencies and departments (MDAs) in mitigating future disaster occurrence.
