It is a useful document to realize the necessity of planning and management of urban flooding, especially in the era of globalization. Flood is a major concern in India. The National Disaster Management Authority (NMDA) has considered the matter seriously. Previously disaster management has largely focused on riverline floods in rural areas but now special focus has been given to resolve the problems associated with urban floods from economic to epidemic. Factors contributing to urban flooding have been very appropriately presented through a tabular form for further course of action. Statistical data has always been effective in drawing up plans for management programme. With the cooperation of NMDA, management programs will implement the policies of prevention and recovery. The nodal ministry and other ministers and departments will address specific disasters as assigned to them. Keeping in mind the various issues the strategies are planned out. Science and Technology play a significant role in monitoring and forecasting it. Thereby it will act as a decision support system. By setting up a vulnerability based geospatial framework the preparedness of urban flooding may be improved. Establishment of local networks for real time rainfall data will be accorded the highest priority. Doppler Weather Radars will be calibrated with real time rainfall data from local networks. After the generation of the flood forecast the disaster management can characterize the flood severity and implement the associated flood management plan. The ultimate objectives of urban flood management are to provide ways and means to deal effectively with the possible flooding in urban areas. Success of such a system is closely related to an individual’s knowledge of flood risk and their familiarity with emergency response procedures.
