Overview
This paper examines the evolution of flood and floodplain management in New South Wales, focussing on the growing range of management strategies employed and the increasing integration of the efforts of the numerous stakeholder parties. Specific emphasis is placed on the role of the State Emergency Service and its efforts in recent years to improve its own preparedness for flooding and that of flood prone communities generally.
