Flood Risk Management Plan – Cycle II.

This Flood Risk Management Plan primarily focuses on the management of flood risks, outlining a comprehensive framework for the preparation and implementation of measures aimed at reducing damages and fatalities associated with flooding. It operates within the legal context of the EU Flood Directive and the Water Framework Directive, emphasizing the need for compliance with established legal requirements and the integration of climate change adaptation strategies. Key legal principles include the necessity for robust risk assessments and the involvement of relevant stakeholders in the decision-making process.
The document details a set of 29 proposed measures categorized into six groups: strategic resilience, institutional knowledge creation, monitoring and forecasting, public communication, response planning, and response and recovery. Each measure is accompanied by a specific description, objectives, and indicators for success. The document emphasizes the importance of prioritizing actions based on risk assessments and existing projects, including those funded by the EU, to ensure effective implementation and compliance with national and EU regulations.
The implementation plan includes a clear action framework with designated responsibilities for various institutions involved in flood risk management. It outlines short-term activities, necessary steps for each measure, and the identification of financial mechanisms to support these initiatives. Secondary themes include the importance of stakeholder engagement through workshops and consultations, procedural considerations for evaluating measures, and the need for continuous monitoring and adjustment of strategies based on lessons learned and evolving risks.
