FRAMES- Flood Resilient Areas by MultiLayered Safety

Startdatum: oktober 1, 2016
Einddatum: juli 31, 2020

In FRAMES, we looked at how Multi-Layer Safety, or MLS, can improve the overall resilience of areas, communities and authorities in 16 pilot areas. Using a transnational learning evaluation approach, all pilots projects were evaluated and compared. Next to that, transnational focus groups were organized to evaluate and learn from transnational results. This learning process allowed us to generate new insights to support future decision making and show innovative solutions to improve society’s ability to cope with flooding. FRAMES ran from October 2016 till July 2020.

About	6 februari 2019		About FRAMES.
Belgium	1 oktober 2016	30 april 2020	Within FRAMES, the Province of East-Flanders and Ghent University will investigate the possibilities of individual and community-based flood risk action and how it can be encouraged. In the flood-prone areas of Ninove, Geraardsbergen and Denderleeuw, participatory planning processes will unite inhabitants to explore the possibilities of this type of measures, their potential co-benefits and how citizens’ capacities can be strengthened to implement them.
Decision Support System	1 oktober 2016	30 april 2020	A road map to help involved authorities identify how governance relates to the resilience of flood prone areas.
Denmark	1 oktober 2016	30 april 2020	FRAMES enables the Danish Coastal Authority ( DCA) to exchange and share new knowledge and experiences from applied methods and actions with respect to flood risk management. Furthermore, the DCA will gain practice-based insight into spatial planning, emergency response and recovery processes concerning flood risk- and crisis management.
Final products	24 april 2020		Final products of the FRAMES project can be found here: the Layman's report, the Policy recommendations report, the Transnational monitoring and evaluation report, dissemination material,
Germany	1 oktober 2016	30 april 2020	In this pilot, we will focus on the Wesermarsch region in the northwest of Germany. The Wesermarsch is surrounded on three sides by water: the Jade Bay on the western side, and the Weser river on the east which flows into the North Sea. There are two streams in the south, Hunte and Untere Ollen, that flow into the Weser river. FRAMES will strengthen layers 2 (pro-action/ prevention via spatial planning) and 3 (preparation & response) in this region, and the actors will be provided with the outcomes of this project that will enable them to implement more balanced FRM strategies in the Wesermarsch region.

Pilots	1 oktober 2016	31 juli 2020	In FRAMES, we looked at how Multi-Layer Safety, or MLS, can improve the overall resilience of areas, communities and authorities in 16 pilot areas. Via a learning evaluation approach pilots are compared and transnational focus groups are organized to evaluate and learn from transnational (intermediate) results. This learning process allowed us to generate new insights, support future decision making and show innovative solutions to improve society’s ability to cope with flooding. FRAMES ran from October 2016 till July 2020.
The Netherlands	1 oktober 2016	31 juli 2020	The province of Zeeland is situated in the southwest of the Netherlands. It is bounded to Belgium on the south, the province of South-Holland on the north, the province of North-Brabant on the east and the North Sea on the west. Two estuaries cross the province: the Oosterschelde and the Westerschelde. The importance of the sea for the shaping of the province is well expressed in its name: Zee-land (literally translates to Sea-land), which indicates the situation of the province on the edge of water and land.
Toolkit	10 juli 2019
United Kingdom	1 oktober 2016	30 april 2020	FRAMES will demonstrate, across a diverse range of target sites, the multiple benefits that a catchment-based MLS approach can achieve. This will help to increase confidence in the approach and promote its use more widely. FRAMES will help the Rivers Trust develop the skills, tools, approaches and partnerships needed to build capability within the Rivers Trust and CaBA (Catchment Based Approach) network to support communities in delivery of MLS and catchment-based flood risk management.
