Project outcomes and beyond

Specific outcomes

• The goal of the pilot has been reached: knowledge about vulnerability of vital infrastructure toward floods was acquired and the awareness of stakeholders was increased
• The results and knowledge generated through this pilot will be included as policy advise in the Agenda of the National Government and communicated to other vital infrastructure owners in other regions of the country.
• There was excellent cooperation among the stakeholders
• The proposed specific spatial preventive measure as outcome of this pilot is to build an inner dyke to protect the highway and railway.

Flood risk management strategies (FRMSs)

Generally, flood risk governance (FRG) in the Netherlands is dominated by defence/flood protection through hard infrastructure. FRM belongs mainly to the public water sector (state) taking action at the central and regional level (Buijs et al. 2018). The next table shows the FRM strategies that were considered before, during and after FRAMES.
