An integrative and participatory way of dealing with flash floods in the Mediterranean basin
Episodes of intense rainfall are part of the Mediterranean climate. At times, these phenomena lead to flash floods causing material or human damage. To tackle this risk, the LocAll4flood project proposes an Integrated Multi-stakeholder Governance Model, combining prevention, adaptation and mitigation actions, which will be tested in small catchments, particularly vulnerable to flash floods. In order to have a wide range of sensitive zones, 9 pilot sites have been selected from Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Malta, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, covering 4 kinds of topographical areas (urban, rural, coastal, industrial). The “bottom-up” approach is privileged and the transferability to the whole Mediterranean basin is foreseen.
