Flood Resilient Areas by Multi-layEred Safety

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB North Sea

Date of latest update: 2024-01-30

Description

Description (EN):

FRAMES addresses the shared territorial challenge that on-going climate change results in increasing sea levels and extreme rainfall patterns for areas and communities in the North Sea Region. The physical, economic and social effects of floods are likely to increase further. Traditional flood prevention measures (physical infrastructure) are expensive and may not be sustainable for the future. There will never be enough resources to protect every single citizen from flooding, but if we smartly combine resilience measures we can minimise impact. No one organisation or member state has the knowledge to develop sustainable solutions for these challenges alone. For this, we use the Multi-Layer Safety (MLS) concept as a starting point. The MLS concept is a policy strategy that integrates measures for: prevention, mitigation via spatial planning and emergency response. These layers are traditionally managed by different authorities and sectors, but through MLS, the barriers are lifted and the stakeholders jointly apply the most effective combination of solutions. The MLS principles are being acknowledged by more and more authorities and practitioners across the NSR, but have thus far not been developed in a transnational way. The FRAMES partners are experimenting with MLS related concepts and will build on this experience to realise sustainable strategies and improve the capacity of authorities and society to cope with flooding.

Achievements (EN):

The effects of floodings increase every year in the North Sea Region, threatening multiple core functions of society. There will never be enough resources to protect every single citizen, but if we smartly join forces and combine resilience measures we can minimise impact. Flood Resilient Areas by Multi-layEred Safety, FRAMES in short, researched how Multi-Layer Safety (MLS) can improve the overall flood resilience of areas, communities and authorities. FRAMES is a project co-funded by the North Sea Region Programme 2014-2020. Partners form the UK, Denmark, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have designated 15 pilots in areas which are comparable from geographic and demographic view, so monitoring generates new insights and solutions. In the FRAMES Wiki you can find more elaborate information and results of this project. The Multi-Layer Safety Concept (MLS): The MLS concept is a policy strategy that integrates measures for: prevention, mitigation via spatial planning and emergency response. These layers are traditionally managed by different authorities and sectors, but through MLS, the barriers are lifted and the stakeholders jointly apply the most effective combination of solutions. The MLS principles are being acknowledged by more and more authorities and practitioners across the NSR, but have thus far not been developed in a transnational way. The FRAMES partners are experimenting with MLS related concepts and will build on this experience to realise sustainable strateg¡es and improve the capacity of authorities and society to cope with flooding. In FRAMES, we looked at how Multi-Layer Safety, or MLS, can improve the overall resilience of areas, communities and authorities in 16 pilot areas. Using a transnational learning evaluation approach, all pilots projects were evaluated and compared. Next to that, transnational focus groups were organized to evaluate and learn from transnational results. This learning process allowed us to generate new insights to support future decision making and show innovative solutions to improve society’s ability to cope with flooding. FRAMES ran from October 2016 till July 2020. The results of FRAMES (2016-2020) are highly relevant for policymakers and practitioners working on flood risk management at the local, regional and national scale. By clicking on the blocks above, you will be able to download our final reports, policy recommendations and layman's report, discover the details of all the 16 pilot projects, access the Decision Support System, glossary and Toolkit, read our peer-reviewed articles and take a look a videos shot for FRAMES.
