results start-up session International Handbook for Flood Emergency Response

On June 27 and 28 2022 we had a start up session for creating an International Handbook for Flood Emergency Response. 33 experts from 10 countries (worlwide) and 20 different organisations shared their thoughts on the goal and content of this handbook.

We are aware that many more experts are interested to participate but were not able to join us at the start-up sessions. For those interested can mail me for a summary of the results and the presentations bart.vonk@rws.nl.

We kindly invite you for the next meeting. Goal of that meeting will be: can we come to a coalition of (lead) authors and reviewers to start writing the handbook by end of 2022?
We try to organise this in two sessions : one in the afternoon of October 31st (say 3 pm Paris time) and in the other in the morning of November 1st (say 10 am Paris time).

If you are intersetd to join please send me a mail (bart.vonk@rws.nl) with your name, country and organisation you reperesent and your availabilty on:
October 31st afternoon: Yes / No
November 1st morning: Yes / No

Thank you very much and I wish you all a nice and relaxing summer time,
