  4. Project Components • Institutional Strengthening of Flood Forecasting and Warning Systems • Flood Risk Assessment • Institutional Strengthening for Integrated Flood Management

  5. Project Deliverables • High resolution digital elevation model for Nadi • Flood risk assessment • 2D flood inundation model • Flood hazard maps for greater Nadiarea • Flood mitigation (cost benefit analysis) • Standard operating procedure for flood monitoring and warning • Report summarising flood risk for Nadi • National IFM policy document These deliverables will also inform other activities in Nadi

  6. LiDAR Survey Extent Area

  7. Challenges and Opportunities 1 • Delay in flight of LiDAR survey due to floods in February and April

  8. Challenges and Opportunities 2 • Need for verification • Volume of data • Large datasets • Nadi is high on the Fiji Government and donors’ agendas. • Understanding and working within the donor procurement processes
