LOCATION OF MADEIRA

WHAT HAPPENED The worst storm to hit Madeira since 1993 lashed the south of the Atlantic Ocean island, including the capital, Funchal, Saturday, turning some streets into torrents of mud, water and debris.

WHAT HAPPENED (continued) The flash floods were so powerful they carved paths down mountains and ripped through the city, churning under some bridges and tearing others down.

FLOOD RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES

RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES FOR FLOODS PURPOSE PREVENTION PROTECTION LAND USE CONTROL PURPOSE PREVENTION PROTECTION LAND USE CONTROL TECHNIQUE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FLOOD CONTROL (DIKES, BARRIERS AND DAMS) ZONING MAPS (BUILD – NO BUILD) TECHNIQUE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FLOOD CONTROL (DIKES, BARRIERS AND DAMS) ZONING MAPS (BUILD – NO BUILD)

FLOOD PREVENTION: DIKES IN THE NETHERLANDS

FLOOD CONTROL: THAMES BARRIER; LONDON, ENGLAND

As a result of floods (e.g., in 1928, 1957, etc), the Thames Barrier project, which was begun in 1974 to control storm surges, was officially opened in 1984.

THE OOSTERSCHELDEKERING : THE NETHERLANDS; 1986

THE OOSTERSCHELDEKERING (STORM SURGE BARRIER) WAS CONSTRUCTED IN RESPONSE TO THE NORTH SEA FLOOD OF 1953
