Toolkit

This kit lists tools for the improved management of MLS at the catchment level. As such, it can be used by communities, trusts and catchment partnerships to accurately identify, target and evaluate potential catchment-based MLS-concepts and (spatial) flood risk management measures.

+++ Please note that, at this moment, the toolkit is under development - the list is therefore not complete +++

Vulnerability analysis: Vitale Assets tool Analysis of vulnerable assets: analysis of the impact of flood scenarios on critical infrastructure. Reimerswaal x
Vulnerability analysis: Circle tool The Circle tool identifies cascade-effects of flood scenarios on critical infrastructure. Reimerswaal x
Risk label method The Risk label method is a hazard-risk based approach used to analyse/map the risk of electricity assets in case of a flooding. Electricity Grid Zeeland x x
Community based approach / participation approach Approach to include those affected as key partners in developing strategies related to their assistance and protection. Electricity Grid Zeeland, Denderleeuw, Geraardsbergen, Ninove, Assens, Roskilde, Velje x x
Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) approach "The Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) approach aims to support the development of an adaptive plan that is able to deal with conditions of deep uncertainties. " All pilots in Denmark, Assens, Vejle and Roskilde, applied an adapted version of this tool. x x x x x
Research-by-Design Pilots in Belgium: Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw
Cost-benefit Analysis (CBA) An economic technique applied to public decision−making that attempts to quantify the advantages (benefits) and disadvantages (costs) associated with, in this case, potential spatial measures. Reimerswaal
Programs in schools Increase awareness of students, teachers and parents Pilots in Belgium: Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw x x
Brochures / flyers Increase awareness of citizens (Belgium) and farmers (Germany) All pilots in Belgium (Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw) and Germany (Wesermarsch) x x
Vision and Action Plan Develop a vision and action plan to climate/flood proof the area/region with specific spatial adaptation measures All pilots in Belgium (Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw) x x
Community approach: ClimateJust Free webtool that can be used for community analysis. "Climate Just is an information tool designed to help with the delivery of equitable responses to climate change at the local level. Its main focus is to assist the development of socially just responses to the impacts of extreme events, such as flooding." All pilots in the United Kingdom x x
SHAPE "The 'Strategic Health Asset Planning and Evaluation', or SHAPE, is a web enabled, evidence based application that informs and supports the strategic planning of services and assets across a whole health economy. Its analytical and presentation features can help service commissioners to determine the service configuration that provides the best affordable access to care." All pilots in the United Kingdom x x
