drs. Steven Krol, Project Leader EU Interreg FRAMES (Flood Resilient Areas by Multi-layer Safety Approach) Provincie Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
The Rivers Trust Autumn Conference 2017
Overview of the FRAMES project & concept of multi-layer safety approach
1. - Context of Multilayer Safety
- Development of the Frames project
- Expected output
- Cooperation within North Sea Region Interreg programme
Flood Resilient Areas by Multilayer Safety approach
8. Sea level rise
Extreme river levels
Pluvial floods effecting dense urban areas
Soil subsidence
National Deltaprogramme: in 2050 The Netherlands
have to be climate proof (flood protection, availablility of
fresh water and adaptive spatial planning)
9. Integrated Flood Risk management / MLS:
Combined planning and actions on
- prevention
- adaptive spatial planning
- emergency response
- recovery
Concept is acknowledged, but implementation is another
challenge!

2SEAS
North Sea Region
North West Europe
NSR is currently the only programme where climate adaptation is a priority
Specific priorities:
- Demonstrate new and/or improved methods for improving the climate resilience of target
sites
- Develop new methods for the long-term sustainable management of North Sea ecosystems
EU Interreg Subsidy programmes
12. 2014: project application started by finding partners in the NSR
2014: mangement and politics involved
2015: rejected by steering committe but with the invitation to submit
2016: approved 01 October 2016 , 31 January 2017 contract signed
Frames project application
13. Total budget € 6.924.911,
ERDF contribution € 3.462.455
October 2016 – 31 January 2020
General objective: reduce the impact of floods from sea, river and extreme rainfall
to keep the North Sea regions economically and environmentally sustainable.
14. Integrated Flood Risk management / Multilayer Safety Approach
- combined actions for prevention, spatial adaptation, emergency response and recovery
No one region or authority can do these actions alone
Mobilise local and social stakeholders
Outcome – change (Work Packages)
• Flood resilient areas: improved infrastructure and spatial planning measures
• Food resilient communities: better prepared communities and social stakeholders
• Flood resilient authorities: reduced recovery times and increased response
capacity
15.
16. Increased awareness and response capacity of authorities and
stakeholders
Laymen reports on flood risk resilience
Communication tools
Decision Support System
Policy recommendations for authorities
Toolkit for improved spatial targeting of catchment based flood risk
management
Output - deliverables (selection)

18. Authorities / administrators from cities and regions
Waterboards
Emergency/rescue organisations
Knowlegde Institutes
Social stakeholders (senior citizens associations, Red Cross)
