    The document discusses ways to protect a city's built environment from natural disasters. It states that vulnerabilities in a community's infrastructure determine the risk from hazards like floods. It argues that cities exist through management of hydrologic, atmospheric and geologic factors. Protecting buildings and infrastructure through measures like dikes, levees and dams, along with wetlands and catchment basins, can prevent flooding and the injuries, damage, economic losses and loss of function that result.
