The Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES) is organising a regional training course on Paleoflood Hydrology in Flood Risk Assessment, from February 18 to 22, 2013, in Bangkok. The training shall mentor participants in paleoflood data collection, analysis, management, and application in flood risk estimation. Paleoflood hydrology enables the generation of long-term flood record by reconstructing the magnitude and frequency of past floods in areas without flood-level observations, by using geomorphological indicators and documentary evidence. It is, thus, possible to quantify flood risks in areas with paucity in flood records, for developing flood risk management plans
