The study analysed existing flood control projects across Asia, focusing on their contributions to regional flood resilience. The researchers examined flood resilience indicators used in select Asian countries and evaluated their strengths and limitations.

In establishing evaluation indicators and analysing flood resilience policies in major countries, the report aimed to serve as an effective basis for determining directions for domestic flood resilience policy. Researchers developed a flood resilience index specifically for South Korea, to support the evaluation of the local government’s capacity in flood-prone areas to implement effective recovery and prevention efforts.
