Pre-Conference Workshop - Community Engagement in the Floodplain Management Process?
This workshop, led by Neil Dufty (Molino Stewart) at the 2018 FMA National Conference in Gold Coast, explored current approaches and methods for effective community engagement to help floodplain managers deliver projects, such as studies or engineering works. Improved flood education and having people understand the floodplain management process to recognise their risks is a key factor in changing their behaviour in the face of natural disasters. The workshop drew on expertise from the public and private sectors in how to best meet the challenges in engaging target audiences for meaningful outcomes, and will involve hands-on exercises to practice these skills.
