Layer 1- Flood protection

Typical challenges for areas:

• Coastal flooding as main challenge (see the pilots in Denmark and the Netherlands (Flood proof electricity grid, Reimerswaal and Sloe))
• Fluvial flooding and coastal flooding/influence  (Alblasserwaard, Wesermarsch)
• Fluvial flooding (see the pilots in the UK and the pilots in Belgium)
• 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: Scenarios 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.
