Physical protection from the elements is a basic human need, but few man-made structures have been designed and built to withstand the most extreme forces of nature. Purpose-built structures are used to protect people and property against damaging material such as rock falls, lava flows, mudslides, avalanches, etc. 1990s - present: dominated by hard structures (reservoirs, levees, sea walls, more mixed response, with the introduction of non-structural measures (flood warning, Schemes were assessed on civil-engineering criteria and cost-benefit grounds. Little though was given to community acceptance or environmental side-effects. land use planning, insurance) designed to reduce human vulnerability to floods. Local communities encouraged to live safely with flood in more sustainable ways.
