Abstract

Abstract: The overall goals are to develop the capacity for managing Natural Disaster Risk of Flash’s in Egypt to reducing the economic losses and fatalities resulting from flash floods through building capacities for early effective emergency responses. The project work plan included three phases for Wadi Abou Sbeiara dealing with the producing flash flood hazard and risk maps. identification of effective remedial measures for flash flood risk and recommendations for community awareness to increase the institutional capacities. Hydrological and hydraulic models are used for managing the surface water in Wadi Abou-Sbeiara catchment area. The imagine a flood disaster, during the flood events, the model may help to predict when and where there is a risk of flooding by generated Hazard Maps to determine which areas should be evacuated. After the flood, models may use to quantify the risk that a flood of similar or larger magnitude will occur during the coming years and to decide what measures of flood protection may be needed for the future. A combination of proposed management strategies tools is needed to reduce risks, protect natural resources and functions. Due to the fact that the floodplain management is a process, there is no one best set of tools or a single wise use of the floodplain.
