About the Flood Green Guide & Training Program

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), in partnership with the US Agency for International Development Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), developed the Natural & Nature-based Flood Management: A Green Guide (Flood Green Guide) to support using natural and nature-based methods for flood risk management. The Flood Green Guide (FGG) is open-source and supported by training and a resource library.

Training Curriculum

The Flood Green Guide training curriculum covers a range of key topics, including flood risk analysis, climate and uncertainty assessments, formulating flood risk management objectives, method selection, community engagement, urban issues and more. The training methodology includes a combination of videos, presentations, individual and group participatory exercises, and scenarios.

A Flood Green Guide Trainer's Guide with activity duration, objective, relevant FGG stage and chapter, and materials and resources for each subsection is also available.

To obtain a copy of the FGG, or for more information on the FGG training program, curriculum, or resources, please email [email protected].

The Flood Green Guide

The Flood Green Guide provides practical guidance and tools to understand the local context related to flood risk and lead those responsible for flood management through analysis, method selection and decision making at multiple stages of a typical flood risk management project cycle. The guide is designed for those involved in flood risk management, including municipal governments, community groups, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
