Activities

The project aims to substantively support achieving: a) an improved knowledge of region’s flood risk, causes and appropriate responses among authorities and other stakeholders; b) an inclusive approach to flood risk management planning in line with EU legislation that is sensitive to the specific needs of different vulnerable social groups; c) a better preparedness for flood risks and strengthened recovery capacity thanks to improved governance; d) progress toward flood risk-based urban and economic development; e) a reduction in the adverse consequences of future floods in high-risk areas through the repair or construction, as demonstration projects, of flood control infrastructure in line with contemporary approaches and techniques; f) creation of a flash-flood early warning and public-alert system; and g) progress in the adoption of the objectives and principles of the EU Floods Directive and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
