LC 00221

Layer 2 focuses on avoidance of negative consequences of flooding by pro-active spatial planning or land use policies (“keeping people away from water”), aimed at building only outside areas that are prone to flooding. If you click here you can read more about layer 2.

Listed below are the tools used in layer 2 by the FRAMES pilots. When available, we provide links to external sites where the tool is explained in more detail.

Name of tool	Main objective	Description	Applied in pilot
Vitale Assets tool	Measuring (in)direct effects of floods on vital infrastructure.	This method and tool supports professionals in determining direct and indirect effects of floods on certain vital infrastructure, social systems or the impact on an area as a whole. It can be combined with GIS modelling. Developed by the RAAK Consortium (2017-2018): HZ University of Applied Sciences, Province of Zeeland, Reimerswaal, Safety region Zeeland, Rijkswaterstaat Zee & Delta, Waterschap Schelde¬stromen Deltares.	Reimerswaal
Critical Infrastructures: Relations and Consequences for Life and Environment(Circle)	Identification of cascade-effects of flood scenarios on critical infrastructure.	The Circle tool, developed by Deltares, identifies cascade-effects of flood scenarios on critical infrastructure. This tool can be used during collaborative modelling and workshops; a workshop guideline is freely available online.	Reimerswaal
Risk label method	Impact assessment: map the risks of electricity assets.	The Risk label method is a hazard-risk based approach used to analyse/map the risk of electricity assets in case of a flooding considering direct and indirect failure (cascading effects) of the medium-voltage network. Developed by Nelen & Schuurmans, a consultancy firm and results were discussed and validated during workshops with electricity gridexperts (Enduris, Evides, KPN and Delta) of the Flood Proof Electricity Grid pilot.	Electricity Grid Zeeland
Community based approach / participation approach	Collect data with emphasis on participation from the community.	Approach to include those (potentially) affected as key partners in developing strategies related to their assistance and protection.	Electricity Grid Zeeland, Denderleeuw, Geraardsbergen, Ninove, Assens, Roskilde, Velje
Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) approach	Use when developing adaptive plans for the future.	"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.
School programs to increase flood awareness	Self-assessment tools for community resilience + communication.	Increase the flood risk awareness of students, teachers and parents by visiting schools and playing educational games with the students.	Pilots in Belgium: Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw
Vision and Action Plan	Use when developing adaptive plans for the future.	Vision and action plans can be developed to climate/flood proof the area/region with specific spatial adaptation measures.	All pilots in Belgium
GIS analysis of social characteristics	Exploration of different social vulnerability indicators.	Explore the social (in)justice to floods through an analysis of the social characteristics of the exposed populations by using a GIS-analysis of the spatial distribution of the different social vulnerability indicators.	Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw
SHAPE	Map the socio-spatial flood risk of an area.	"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
Adaptation Catalyst	The Adaptation Catalyst is a software tool designed to help overcome the ‘implementation gap’ in realizing adaptive capacity, to get from research and design to actual realization of measures.
Social media	Communication and dissemination.	To increase and improve the flood awareness and self-efficacy of citizens and organizations, social media channels are advised to be used: YouTube Twitter, Facebook, local press (TV, newspaper, magazines, radio), websites, newsletters, brochures, leaflets, events and meetings.	All pilots
