Brief Conference Report:
The conference was made successful by having special key note sessions presented by eminent speakers from Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, China, India, Hong Kong and Malaysia who are experts in flood disaster related fields. This report on managing flood catastrophes to advance climate change adaptation is drawn primarily from the presentations and discussion of the key note speakers, researchers, practitioners and policy makers from more than 50 institutions and 8 countries who participated during the CFCCE. Issues highlighted include advances in climate modeling and weather forecasts with emphasis on Integrated urban flood management, technology driven solutions, preparing risk maps of future hazard, health implications of major floods, advance modeling techniques, Big data Analytics and management of flood water as resource.
The conference comprised 10 keynote presentations and 28 oral presentations from local and international experts and attended by 110 participants.
