Economic Flood Assessment Durban South Africa The purpose of this project is to provide  a flood risk assessment for the South Durban Basin in Durban, South Africa. This is an essential part for impact determination of flood hazards in order to develop a flood resilience strategy and prioritize projects in a stakeholder setting. This will contribute to a more resilient and safe environment for the local private sector and secure employment in Durban against future flooding risks.Currently, there is no insight in the economic flood risk of the that would guide the selection and prioritization of measures. This is an indispensable step to be built on by the (follow up) technical assistance mission by the DRRS Team mission to equip the city to Build Back Better and recover more swiftly from the flood impacts and more particularly to assess mechanisms to build flood resilience and mitigation for the future, including nature based solutions. The assessment will give priority to the South Durban Basin which was greatly impacted, and which is the economic heart of the Durban.
