Impact Assessment: Impact Assessment (IA) simply defined is the process of identifying the future consequences of a current or proposed action. The “impact” is the difference between what would happen with the action and what would happen without it. More information can be found here: International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA).

Flood Resilience Rose: The Flood Resilience Rose is a self-assessment tool to analyze the resilience to flooding in the specific FRAMES pilot sites.  It has been developed by the University of Oldenburg to support the pilot coordinators in:

  • systematically assessing and communicating strengths and weaknesses of the current flood risk management approach in their specific target site, and thereby;
  • providing a tool to systematically analyze and improve the resilience to flooding in their target site through the implementation of the multi-layer safety approach. 

More information can be found in this document about the FRR, written by the researchers from the University of Oldenburg who developed it.

Self-Assessment: According to Merriam-Webster, self-assessment is "the act or process of analyzing and evaluating oneself or one's actions".
