Northsearegion.eu/frames Sustainable North Sea Region: Protecting against climate change and preserving the environment FRAMES addresses the shared territorial challenge that on-going climate change results in increasing sea levels and extreme rainfall patterns for areas and communities in the North Sea Region. The physical, economic and social effects of floods are likely to increase further. Traditional flood prevention measures (physical infrastructure) are expensive and may not be sustainable for the future. There will never be enough resources to protect every single citizen from flooding, but if we smartly combine resilience measures we can minimise impact. No one organisation or member state has the knowledge to develop sustainable solutions for these challenges alone. For this, we use the Multi-Layer Safety (MLS) concept as a starting point. The MLS concept is a policy strategy that integrates measures for: prevention, mitigation via spatial planning and emergency response. These layers are traditionally managed by different authorities and sectors, but through MLS, the barriers are lifted and the stakeholders jointly apply the most effective combination of solutions. The MLS principles are being acknowledged by more and more authorities and practitioners across the NSR, but have thus far not been developed in a transnational way. The FRAMES partners are experimenting with MLS-related concepts and will build on this experience to realise sustainable strategies and improve the capacity of authorities and society to cope with flooding.

Sub projects

Project Start date End date Summary
Alblasserwaard (NL) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Joint execution with stakeholders of spatial catchment-based measures within 4 catchment areas to demonstrate cross-sector benefits and increase resilience for: communities, agriculture, businesses, cultural capital (e.g. UNESCO site).
Denderleeuw (BE) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Flood risks in Flanders are increasing, due to continuing land sealing and climate change. Addressing these risks will not be possible with protective measures only (e.g. embankments, flood retention zones, etc.) but will necessitate a wide set of measures. Some of these measures will require action to be taken by citizens. Considering the fact that Flemish flood risk management has limited experience with citizen engagement, it can be expected that the implementation of individual and community-based measures will not be self-evident and might even meet resistance. 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 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.
Flood Proof Electricity Grid Zeeland (NL) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Assessing the impact of floods in flood prone areas where infrastructure is concentrated (roads/tunnels/rail) and next developing MLS spatial solutions including a flood-proof electricity grid that mitigates the effects of floods (cost) effectively.
Kent (UK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Based on self-efficacy and spatial risk analyses, partners will initiate joint qualitative assessments, trial risk management measures and develop transferable training, processes and strategies to build resilience into the social/care system.
Lustrum Beck (UK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Joint execution with stakeholders of spatial catchment-based measures within 4 catchment areas to demonstrate cross-sector benefits and increase resilience for: communities, agriculture, businesses, cultural capital (e.g. UNESCO site).

Reimerswaal (NL) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Assessing the impact of floods in flood prone areas where infrastructure is concentrated (roads/tunnels/rail) and next developing MLS spatial solutions including a flood-proof electricity grid that mitigates the effects of floods (cost) effectively.
Roskilde (DK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Review of the emergency response during a storm surge in Roskilde and how self-efficient the public was. The recovery process and challenges will be analysed. The results will be disseminated into best practices for partners to adopt and spread.
Sloe area (NL) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Assessing the impact of floods in flood prone areas where infrastructure is concentrated (roads/tunnels/rail) and next developing MLS spatial solutions including a flood-proof electricity grid that mitigates the effects of floods (cost) effectively.
Southwell (UK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Joint execution with stakeholders of spatial catchment-based measures within 4 catchment areas to demonstrate cross-sector benefits and increase resilience for: communities, agriculture, businesses, cultural capital (e.g. UNESCO site).
Upper Darent (UK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Joint execution with stakeholders of spatial catchment-based measures within 4 catchment areas to demonstrate cross-sector benefits and increase resilience for: communities, agriculture, businesses, cultural capital (e.g. UNESCO site)
Vejle (DK) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Study of how MLS can be adopted in areas without conventional flood protection together with 3 municipalities. The method of Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) is applied since it relates the different measures identified under the 3 layers.
WP1 Project Management 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 The aim of this work package is to ensure a well-managed project. The project is controlled by a Steering Group under the leadership of a project manager designated by the lead partner. All partners will operate in regional groups led by a regional coordinator. The transnational work groups at work package level shall report to the Steering Group. Overall project management includes financial management and reporting to NSR JTS. Focus Groups formed by experts throughout the partnership specialise on joint problem-solving for a specific pilot.

The knowledge institutes will form a working group that coordinates the integration of approaches and results in order to further support capacity building across the partnership and the NSR. The knowledge institutes in the project form the core of the transnational expert team that shares, collects and analyses information and experiences.

Authorities will work together to provide the local, regional and national knowledge that is necessary to successfully integrate MLS in the spatial, environmental, economic and legal context.

The non-governmental organisations will bring the project closer to the communities that are under risk of being flooded and therefore allow bottom-up approach when improving resilience.
WP2 Communication 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Communication activities are vital for the MLS approach to become a transnationally accepted method to realise sustainable areas in flood prone regions. The communication work package collects activities that inform stakeholders about the project, disseminates project results and general awareness raising activities. Centralised communication shall support the specific activities by providing a platform for generating (transnational) insights and participation and for sharing progress and results, means include: construction of a website (Interreg module), brochures, newsletters and banners.

Important in this work package are the FRAMES days that deliver transnational and interdisciplinary problem-solving for a specific pilot. The project manager of the pilot together with the Focus Group prepares a case that the partnership will visit, analyse and ultimately provide a solution for. FRAMES days start off with open fairs where transnational experts, stakeholders, politicians, companies and the public connect with each other. Local stakeholders join the workshops during the day as a source of local knowledge and inspiration for the Focus Group.

Communication will be coordinated transnationally by the WP leader PZH. PZH will also be responsible for the communication content and supplying materials. All FRAMES partners are responsible for organising FRAMES day(s) and their regional communication activities
WP3 Resilient Areas 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 This WP will focus on spatial planning and catchment management measures (such as coordination between different functions for urban and land use or Flood crisis simulation tool Reimerswaal) to ensure that areas

which are more resilient against floods.

Data on the local situation, supplied by the authorities and NGOs in the pilot areas, will be analysed via a common structure and will be coordinated by the involved knowledge institutes. The knowledge partners will provide an over-arching assessment to pinpoint which data are of most value for these outputs. By identifying these hotspots, the cross-sector economic, social and environmental services of each area will be identified. By taking into account the cross-sector services in the pilot areas the most appropriate MLS measure(s) can be piloted, delivering multiple benefits without compromising the existing cross-sector services in the pilot areas. The overarching assessment of the pilot areas will be used by the partners to jointly develop and pilot MLS resilience measures and to identify and implement integration of the different safety layers.

The selected pilots contain communities at significant risk of flooding, the flood risks in the areas can insufficiently be addressed with traditional (layer 1) engineering solutions and have a size which allows us to demonstrate the benefits of MLS within the project timeframe. The Annex contains an overview of the pilots/investments and how they fit in the activities.
WP4 Resilient Communities 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 This WP will focus on providing community resilience measures to create communities that are more resilient against floods, and especially against larger and more frequent floods expected in the future

An impact assessment will be performed about the role of self-efficacy and social capital for resilient communities. By conducting a baseline, mid-term and final self-assessments of the pilot areas, the level of community resilience in the flood prone areas will be determined. Based on these results, the partners will jointly develop, pilot and assess:

  • participatory projects, using methods such as community workshops and living lab
  • a self-efficacy mobile app
  • the MLS concept and its effect on resilience in pilot areas without conventional flood protection
  • incorporation of health and social care services in MLS
  • a contingency exercise to test MLS
  • recovery in case of a flood recovery plans for changing flood conditions

WP5 Resilient Authorities 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 This work package will be a joint effort of the partnership's approach in assessing, developing and piloting the various MLS resilience measures. This process takes shape as a transnational Learning Evaluation of the activities conducted in the pilot areas. Expertise and experience of the partners and stakeholders will be merged in an integrated framework of MLS to validate pilot results, support transnational learning and to deliver policy recommendations aimed at the local, regional, national and EU strategies developed by authorities. In preparation to these recommendations, the FRAMES partners will oversee the joint development of a decision-support system for all forms of governments that is based on the results of WP 3 and 4. This system will provide insight in MLS resilience measures and how these will influence:
  • ecological, social and economic indicators, short-term and long- term (sustainability)
  • robustness of vital infrastructure networks (continuity and recovery of society)
  • different ecosystem services (ecosystem-based management)
  • different land use sectors and interests (participation) on horizontal and vertical levels (integration)
  • collaboration on different MLS levels in the NSR (macro-regional cooperation)
  • imparting knowledge and specific content (communication)
Actions 3 and 4 (resilience toolkit and risk management plans) shall support dissemination and applicability of the developed solutions and good practices at local and regional level.
Wesermarsch (DE) 1 oktober 2016 31 januari 2020 Improving and using risk and hazards maps to allow for contingency planning and exercises, with a special focus on rural and urban drainage. The improved database will be tested for improving resilience. Pilot Book attached for more detail.
