Integrated Flood Management Planning (IFMP) is a proactive and inclusive approach to managing flood risks while enhancing community resilience and ecosystem health. This guide is tailored for local governments and First Nations in British Columbia, offering a five-step process: scoping and relationship-building, risk understanding, strategy selection, plan assembly, and adaptive implementation. It highlights the importance of collaboration, drawing on Indigenous knowledge, geospatial tools, and community input. By integrating climate projections, nature-based solutions, and structural defenses, IFMP aims to create adaptive, holistic strategies that balance safety, equity, and ecological stewardship. The guide emphasizes flexibility, treating IFMP as a living document that evolves with changing environmental and social conditions. Key outcomes include risk-informed decisions, participatory governance, and knowledge-sharing networks. Practical tools and resources are provided to support implementation, ensuring that communities can align flood management efforts with broader climate adaptation and sustainability goals while respecting cultural values and legal frameworks.
