This chapter discusses holistic flood risk management in the context of integrated flood risk management, sustainability science, and transdisciplinary approach of Pasig-Marikina River Basin in Metro Manila. It notes how the cooperation of the concerned local government units (LGUs) in collaboration with the national government are needed to make this successful.]
