Abstract
Flash floods become one of the most recent common forms of natural disaster in recent-day Egypt. These floods are made up of sudden, unexpected and heavy rains or a strong surge of water, which usually hit the steep sloped mountainous catchments and inundate many regions, particularly along the Red Sea Coast and Sinai, Egypt. These floods often carry rocks, soil, and other debris, a matter which make them pose a significant risk to people and infrastructure, leading to death and destruction. Egypt recognized the challenges posed by disasters and strengthened and developed its national institutions and policy to meet the tasks of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) on the Crisis Management and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Egypt established a Crisis Management Affairs (CEMA) entity in 2000 and some good signs of progress have been made along several areas and sectors. The multi-sectoral approach is to be adopted and operationalized to ensure the full integration and harmony. Furthermore, in 2009, Egypt in collaboration with Belgium has installed the first early warning system called Flash Flood Manager (FlaFloM) in Wadi Watir, Southern Sinai.
