Flood Disaster Preparedness Plan for Sindh and Balochistan Province of Pakistan

Climate change may significantly influence flash floods due to the accelerated frequency of extreme precipitation events. Climate change causes a shift in the frequency and intensity of precipitation, which ultimately results in more intense rainfall events. This study proposes flood disaster preparedness plan for Sindh and Balochistan province of Pakistan. Study primarily focused on floods in 2022. Major recommendation includes the increasing the capacity of existing lakes through rising embankment and increasing the lake area. Furthermore, study proposes the construction of cross drainage system between the lake and Indus river. Study emphasize the use of hydrological modeling and Geographic Information System (GIS) based technology for flood control and management across the region.
