Chain of Safety

Programme 2000 - 2006 North Sea Region

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

The aim of the project was to facilitate co-operation, exchange of experience and mutual assistance within the North Sea Region (NSR) in the event of coastal flooding. The overall objective of the project was to initiate a contingency plan for flooding covering the whole North Sea Area in order to implement this contingency plan during 2007 - 2013.

Achievements (EN):

The project presented a pilot coastal contingency plan, which served as a step and learning exercise towards future North Sea contingency planning in cross-border areas. Within the Dutch – Belgian coastal region the results of the inventories on available plans and equipment were used to compare the existing situations. The project developed two recommendations as a final result. Those include a proposal to initiate a Knowledge Centre on Crisis Management of Coastal Flooding as a follow-up project as well as the recommendation for a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ as a basis for being able to work more effectively on a transnational level in case of a crisis.
