In April 2007, the Parliament and Council of the European Union agreed the wording on a new European Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks. The Integrated Project FLOODsite is listed as one of the European actions which support the Directive.
FLOODsite covers the physical, environmental, ecological and socio-economic aspects of floods from rivers, estuaries and the sea. It considers flood risk as a combination of hazard sources, pathways and the consequences of flooding on the “receptors” – people, property and the environment.
Flood risk management is a process which comprises pre-flood prevention, risk mitigation measures and preparedness, backed up by flood management actions during and after an event.
Floods often cross international borders and so must flood risk management research. Our research on these topics is being integrated through decision support technologies, uncertainty estimation and pilot applications for river, estuary and coastal sites in Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK.
FLOODsite is active in stimulating the uptake of research advances through guidance for professionals, public information and educational material.
FLOODsite is an “Integrated Project” in the Global Change and Ecosystems priority of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission. It commenced in 2004 and runs to 2009. The FLOODsite consortium includes 37 of Europe’s leading institutes and universities and the project involves managers, researchers and practitioners from a range of government, commercial and research organisations, specialising in aspects of flood risk management.","AbstractOtherLang":"Overstromingen zijn de meest voorkomende natuurlijke gevaren in Europa waarbij overstromingen van rivieren, en stormvloeden in estuaria en aan de kust vele miljoenen mensen direct bedreigen. Overstromingen veroorzaken veel leed en schade. Bovendien tonen gegevens van verzekeringsmaatschappijen aan dat de financiële gevolgen van overstromingen sinds 1990 aanzienlijk zijn toegenomen.
Het Europese parlement en de Europese Raad zijn het in april 2007 eens geworden over de formulering van een nieuwe Europese richtlijn met betrekking tot de beoordeling en het beheer van overstromingsrisico’s. Het Geïntegreerde Project FLOODsite is één van de Europese acties die deze richtlijn ondersteunen.
FLOODsite houdt zich bezig met de fysische, milieutechnische, ecologische en socio-economische aspecten van overstromingen van rivieren, in estuaria en uit zee. Het beschouwt overstromingsrisico als een combinatie van bronnen van gevaar, het verloop van de gebeurtenis en de gevolgen van overstromingen voor de betrokkenen – mensen, bezittingen en het milieu.
Overstromingsrisicobeheer is een proces dat de volgende begrippen omvat:
voorkomen in de fase vóór de overstroming,
maatregelen om de risico’s af te wenden en
het creëren van bewustwording met betrekking tot het voorbereid zijn op overstromingen,
gepaard gaande met overstomingsbeheersmaatregelen tijdens en direct na een gebeurtenis.
Overstromingen zijn vaak grensoverschrijdend en onderzoek ten behoeve van overstromingsrisicobeheer is dat ook. Ons onderzoek naar bovenstaande onderwerpen wordt geïntegreerd met behulp van beslissingsondersteunende systemen, de schatting van onzekerheden en toepassing op proefgebieden zowel in rivieren, estuaria en kustgebieden in België, Tsjechië, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Hongarije, Italië, Nederland, Spanje en het Verenigd Koninkrijk.
FLOODsite probeert de toepassing van de geproduceerde vooruitgang in kennis zo actief mogelijk te bevorderen door het geven van hulp aan professionals, publieksinformatie en het produceren van onderwijsmateriaal.
FLOODsite is een zogenaamd “Geïntegreerd Project” in het prioritair thematisch gebied „Duurzame ontwikkeling, veranderingen op wereldschaal en ecosystemen”; subprioriteit „Veranderingen op wereldschaal en ecosysteme van het zesde kaderprogramma van de Europese Commissie. Het is in 2004 begonnen en zal in 2009 worden afgerond. Het FLOODsite consortium bestaat uit 37 vooraanstaande Europese onderzoekinstituten en universiteiten. In het project zijn beheerders, onderzoekers en praktijkmensen actief. Zij komen van overheidsinstanties, onderzoekorganisaties en bedrijfsleven, allen gespecialiseerd in verschillende aspecten van overstromingsrisicobeheer.","BibLvlCode":"M","StandardTitle":"Integrated
