Interreg III B Projekt Strategien und Aktionen bei dem Umgang mit der Hochwassergefahr

Why was the SAFER project implemented- Warum ist das Projekt SAFER entstanden flooding events happened - Hochwasserereignisse Common Problems: 1. unsatisfactory Information about hazard areas (mangelhafte Informationen über Gefahrengebiete) 2. To forget- unsatisfactory consciousness about flooding hazard... (Vergessen mangelhaftes Gefahrenbewußtsein...nach dem Hochwasser die Katastrophe so schnell wie möglich vergessen 3. Who has to do what, who is responsible...cooperation of landuse planning, fire brigade, civil defense... wer hat was zu tun... Raumordnung, Feuerwehr und Katastrophenschutz muss ein gemeinsames Konzept erstellen

Flooding 2002 on the river Rems, which drains into Neckar Drumnadrochit. A82, main trunk road through the village flooded Dublin. Flooding 2002 Venoge catchment. 2004

The SAFER Philosophy (Projektphilosophie) Information on hazards, e.g. maps, forecast Flood partnerships Precautionary activities with emergency plan Information (Hazard maps) + Co-operation (Flood partnerships) + Emergency management systems =flood protection

Themes in SAFER flood hazard maps flood emergency management 1 2 3 SAFER Symposium flood partnerships

Themes in SAFER flood hazard maps Plenary session II 1 2 3 Flood hazard maps SAFER Symposium flood partnerships Plenary flood emergency session III management Flood emergency management systems Plenary session I Flood partnerships

2005

What has been achieved so far- Was wurde bisher erreicht finding out responsibilities; setting up working groups Erosion model has been developed; results about erosion along the Venoge development of partnerships in all regions layout of hazard maps worked out; maps are available for DCC, FCS and sub catchments in RPS flood emergency management system is implemented in district of Heilbronn

Milestones - what will be done next Die nächsten Schritte preparation of hazard maps in Neckar catchment Produce final streambank erosion for the study reaches of the Venoge and Enrick Rivers Produce a diagnostic map for German pilot study reaches Set-up flood partnerships in the entire Neckar catchments and improve the information transfer in all regions Development of flood emergency systems in Dublin and the Enrick catchment
