Critical infrastructure and resilience in Reimerswaal















Project summary

The research group collaborates with many partners in a study about the impact of a flooding of the Reimerswaal area, both locally and regionally. The research is about the cascade-effects of a flooding disrupting the vital infrastructure and measures to decrease the socio-economic impact and enhance possibilities for recovery of society. This study offers several possibilities for students. Assignments are available about analyzing the vulnerability of the critical infrastructure in Reimerswaal.
