Strategic development of flood management
START DATE
01.04.2020
END DATE
30.06.2023
TOTAL BUDGET
€ 9.411.657,83
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
The project will contribute to increase knowledge about floods in the areas involved. Local authorities and emergency services will improve their flood risk management, while people will learn how to behave in case of flood hazards. This will help to reduce the human and socio-economic losses caused by floodings.
LEAD PARTNER
STREAM - ZADAR COUNTY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY ZADRA NOVA
TARGET GROUPS
- General public
- Local, regional and national public authorities and related entities
- Emergency services and coast guard centres
In the last decades flooding frequency has increased along the Adriatic coasts and is expected to further do so in the next 50 to 100 years. This is a tangible effect of climate change that local communities experience. STREAM thus aims to reduce human and socio-economic losses in case of flood hazards, by improving flood risk management of local authorities and emergency services with a cross-border approach.
Partners will work together to develop risk monitoring tools and early warning procedures, with a combined bottom-up and top-down approach. Data sharing, exchange of practices and capacity building schemes will bring additional know-know to stakeholders in the project area.
Particularly, STREAM will set up a flood cadastre, flood risk maps, and a flood risk management plan. Another key element will be reaching the largest possible audience. To do so authorities will organize workshops, info-days and events, to improve the citizen's readiness and rescue operations in case of floodings. In fact raising their awareness in order to adopt correct behaviours is essential to minimize losses.
Once they are achieved, STREAM results can be transferred and put into practice in other costal regions facing similar problems.

ZADAR - Croatia
ZADRA NOVA will contribute to the creation of the flood risk and hazard maps, flood rescue management plan and the international flood platform to help minimize the devastation created by floods. The civil and emergency services in the Zadar County will receive modern equipment to help improve their intervention capacity and the personnel will be trained to use it. As part of the pilot action, the smart urban drainage system will be implemented in three locations in the Zadar area.
