The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) completes the draft National Flood Management Framework, establishing a unified, long-term policy direction for flood risk reduction as part of the country’s broader water resources and national development agenda. The framework shifts flood management from a largely reactive, disaster-response approach to a core element of sustainable water resources management and development planning. It adopts an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach, treating flood control not as a stand-alone intervention but as part of an interconnected system that supports irrigation, water supply, hydropower, food security, environmental protection and local development.
