Project outcomes and beyond
Specific outcomes
- Stakeholders are more aware of their inter-dependencies with regards to the various layers.
- The project on spontaneous help during an evacuation is an important result of this pilot project
Process results
Flood risk management strategies (FRMS)
The Netherlands spends most of its efforts on prevention (layer 1), and it takes time to shift focus to spatial measures (layer 2, Delta program) and emergency management (layer 3) ( evacuation in case of flooding) (Buijs et al. 2018). The main message has always been ‘we will not let you flood’, so making people aware of evacuation is not a popular message for mayors to spread. Let alone talking about reconstruction and rebuilding (layer 4), because that means it has happened already. But the awareness on this is slowly growing (interview will pilot manager, 2019).
The following table summarizes the actions/measures taken for flood risk management before, during Frames and which will be impact of afterwards.
