On April 8-9 took place the Kick-off meeting of the LocAll4Floods project in the catalan city of Vic.
LocAll4Flood project proposes an Integrated Multi-stakeholder Governance Model, combining prevention, adaptation and mitigation actions, which will be tested in small catchments particularly vulnerable to flash floods. In order to have a wide range of sensitive zones, 9 pilot sites have been selected from Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Malta, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, covering 4 kinds of topographical areas (urban, rural, coastal, industrial). The “bottom-up” approach is privileged and the transferability to the whole Mediterranean basin is foreseen. With a total budget of 2 343 206.89 €, the project will last 33 months. hyds will work on the implementation and test of Flood Early Warning Systems based on Argos in the 9 pilot sites. This project is possible thanks to the support of Interreg Fund.
It was a real pleasure to meet with all partners in Vic and start working in this promising project.
