Model to Management

Handed Over, Far From Over: The Client’s Journey with Your Flood Model (LC-26-3-153)


Description
This three-part course explores how flood modelling outputs shape real-world decisions in floodplain risk management. Through a mix of practical case studies and expert insights, the course reveals how models connect with mitigation infrastructure, inform community resilience strategies, and guide development planning across flood-prone areas.

Each session features specialist guest presenters, from engineers to emergency managers, who will unpack the downstream applications of flood models. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how technical outputs translate into high-stakes decisions about safety, land use, and climate adaptation.

Whether you're new to modelling or seasoned in hydraulic analysis, this course encourages you to rethink your role in the floodplain management process. By understanding whether your model is truly fit-for-purpose or feared getting lost in the detail, this course is your chance to recalibrate. Discover how to deliver results that hit the mark today and remain actionable long after the project handover.
