FloodProBE

Technologies for the cost-effective Flood Protection of the Built Environment Duration: Start date: Projectcoordinator: 48 months Nov. 1st 2009 Deltares (NL), Derk van Ree

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Communitys Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement no. 243401.

Key characteristics disaster-resilient communities

Grand challenges Disaster Reduction for floods Recognize and understand relevant flood hazards
Have next generation flood risk map, combining information sources Have a flood risk management system with a common, systems-based approach across all sectors to build in resilience in community assets

Communities at risk are aware of imminent danger

Community focus and partnership working

Individuals safe at home and work

Smarter investment planning, not just protect houses. Asset management incl. flood- resilience of critical infrastructure networks and hotspot buildings

Minimum disruption when event has passed

Preparedness leads to quicker response and recovery

The Grand Challenges put another way

Critical infrastructure Actions required driven by: - People - Business - Economy

Flood Risk Management: what we add

Harm

Assesment of flood defences and vulnerability of Built environment (direct and indirect consequences) Protection and mitigation technologies Adding on to existing DSS for more effective FRM strategies, getting the balance right

Pro-active timing of retrofit

Decision Support System

Receptors (Vulnerability)

Flood Risk Management

Building damage estimation Infrastructure networks Landuse related damage

.
Structure transitions

= new/upgraded
Failure mechanisms

Exposure analysis

Pathways (Reliability)

Erosion processes Geophysics Remote sensing Data integration

Geophysical exploration

Flood defence Inundation simulation

Sources

Hydrology

Meteorology

New flood risk strategy - Multi Layer Safety approach

Concept:
1. Dike system (protection) 2. Spatial lay-out (prevention) 3. Emergency plan (preparedness)

In line with EU Floods Directive
