Subject: The Symposium shed light on various facets of this catastrophic event. Special attention focused on factors such as the human impact (before, during and after), meteorological and hydraulic aspects (e.g. behaviour of dykes and dams, erosion), and an analysis of natural hazards and their effects on the environment. It also addressed the environmental impact (terrestrial and marine) and the factors inherent in reconstruction and relocation. The Symposium gathered together the major scientists involved during the flood and researchers who had already started analysing the various facets fo the phenomenon. The Symposium was to generate future outlooks within the framework of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) in order to draw lessons and make recommendations of interest both to researchers and risk managers
