CHECKLIST
I. Binding legislation

1. Determination and delimitation of the Hydraulic Public Domain (DPH) and the Maritime-Terrestrial Public Domain (DPMT) (if applicable), intense drainage routes, and return periods (T).
2. Includes adaptation of buildings and other land uses considering natural flood risk maps.
3. Analysis and mapping of natural risks. Within the corresponding Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and incorporated into the planning instrument.
4. Addresses the repercussions of climate change on the incidence of natural risks.
5. Preserves the urban development process for the land adjacent to the natural public domain to ensure its integrity (minimum easement margins of 5 m and police margins of 100 m in DPH).
6. Preserves the urban development process for the land that presents natural risks.
7. Includes specific structural measures for flood risk management.
8. Includes specific non-structural measures for flood risk management.
9. Includes corrective (elimination) measures for constructions in flood-prone areas.

II. Community Regulations

10. Establishes additional protection standards against hydrological disaster risks.
11. Risk maps include coastal (if applicable), river, and flash flood risks.
12. Risk maps identify and include other risk multiplier elements of flooding (transported sediments, rockfalls, etc.).

III. Sendai Framework for DRR

13. Recognizes the types of hydrological risk present.
14. A multiple risk assessment has been carried out.
15. Incorporates present hydrological risks into land use planning (zoning).
16. Recognizes and incorporates scientific uncertainty from the precautionary principle.
17. Contemplates the revision, adaptation, and updating of the planning with future changes in projected risks.
18. Includes structural measures for managing present hydrological risks.
19. Includes non-structural measures for managing present hydrological risks.
20. Includes a local strategy for DRR (2020-Meta E, SDGs 1.5, 3.d, 11.5, 11. b, 13.1, and 15).
