Decision Support System

Roadmap.jpg

The FRAMES Decision Support System, or DSS, is a road map with 10 questions to help involved authorities identify how governance relates to the resilience of flood prone areas.

  1. What is the flood risk (sea, river, rainfall) and which are the flood risk challenges in your region? 

Typical challenges for areas:

  • Coastal flooding as main challenge (Zeeland, Denmark)
  • Fluvial flooding and coastal flooding/influence  (Alblasserwaard, Wesermarsch)
  • Fluvial flooding (UK pilots, Belgium pilots)
  • Pluvial flooding: surface water flooding

When this is not clear, please make use of the following tools

  • Flood risk maps delivered for the EU Flood Directive
  • Pilots: Scenario’s and other forecasting techniques to define future challenges
  • Pilots: IPCC reports and national adaptation strategies

Discuss flood risk scenarios and define challenges for resilient areas and communities with relevant stakeholders
