Layer 4- Recovery
Layer 4 is about how to facilitate a good and fast recovery after a flood event. This includes plans for draining / pumping away flood water and restoring safety and security, plans for reconstruction or rebuilding critical infrastructure, damage compensation/insurance systems, return of evacuated communities and social-psychological support. If you click here you can read more about layer 4.
Listed below are the tools used in layer 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decision Support System for MLS (DSS) | "This tool provides insight in MLS resilience measures and how these possibly influence other systems." | HZ University integrated the findings from all the FRAMES pilots and identified policy actions to support the development of diversified strategies for flood resilience. | Results from all FRAMES pilots were integrated into this tool |
| 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. |
| Severe Weather Impacts Monitoring System(SWIMS) tool | Self-assessment tools for community resilience. | The Severe Weather Impacts Monitoring System (SWIMS) allows Kent partners to collect data about how the services provided them are affected during severe weather events. This in turn will allow the identification of key areas and communities that are affected by flooding and other severe weather events and improve the management of those areas in line with MLS principles. It is a decision support and public tool for public organizations in emergency planning events.
SWIMS is available in the UK to local authorities through the Climate Ready programme (in partnership with the Environment Agency, Defra, LGA and Climate UK). |
All pilots in the United Kingdom |
| The Neighbourhood Flood Vulnerability Index(NFVI) | The NFVI gives insights into the social vulnerability of a neighbourhood if a flood should occur. It is a measure of the vulnerability of a community to the negative impacts of flooding. |
