The third step in protecting the territory from natural risks: participatory evolution
This project is an evolution of what was carried out in the 2007-2013 Planning with the PROTERINA-2, RESMAR and PROTERINA-C projects. It aims to improve the capacity of institutions to prevent and jointly manage the risk of floods. The general objective of the project is to strengthen the ability of institutions and communities to respond to the flood risk by raising their awareness. Specific objectives: - Improve the effectiveness of flood risk prevention measures through the cross-border and trans-regional involvement of institutional levels and communities willing to increase risk awareness; - Strengthen monitoring networks and capitalise on previous planning results by integrating the data acquired from early warning models; - Increase cross-border capacity for adaptation to climate change through the development of resilient communities. The direct or indirect beneficiaries will be the civil protection, soil protection and water cycle administrations, weather forecasting and monitoring bodies and residents actively involved in decision-making processes. The keywords that describe the approach and innovative character of the project are: - Participation. Participation, inclusion and involvement of the population and administrators, as a tool for creating resilient communities; a PROTERINA-2 target that is becoming an international model; - Cross-border. One can better handle flood events by sharing skills and resources; - Consolidation. The project capitalises on and develops the positive things done with the previous planning and takes more useful actions.
