What is the difference between flood management plan and emergency management plan?

A flood management plan is a strategy aimed at understanding, reducing and mitigating flood risk over the long term. It integrates structural measures (eg levees), land-use planning, environmental management and community risk reduction techniques to minimise flood impacts before an event occurs.

An emergency management plan provides an adaptable framework for managing flood events as they occur. It focuses on the preparedness, response and recovery phases of flood risk.
