Constraints and challenges met by public administration
dealing with risk prevention in times of budget cuts

Problems
The ac'vi'es of mapping the hazard and flood risk required by the Flood Direc've is completed in 2013. A summary of results is presented in the next few slides. When considering the three scenarios -‐ floods frequent, floods infrequent and rare floods -‐ roughly 20% of the territory and 20% of the popula'on is affected by poten'al flood risks.
Sociale
Constraints
Lack of awareness about the condi'ons of risk exis'ng in the territory. High fragmenta'on of responsibili'es. Separa'on of the planning, programming and implementa'on of the measures. Focus mainly on aspects of hazard and implementa'on of measures mainly structural type. Lack of aNen'on to human resources.

Challenges
The flood management plan focuses on those aspects that are almost always neglected -‐ but important to achieve the safety objec'ves set by flood direc've: Most of the measures are non-‐structural, organized according to five objec'ves. The na'onal policy s'll give preference to the realiza'on of defense works. In fact over the next 7 it is expected to invest EUR 7 billion in defense works, while it is not yet known what will be the investment in non-‐structural interven'ons.
Ci'es
defense city
More space for rivers
Reduce Exposure / Vulnerability
Improve performance defensive systems exis'ng
Improve knowledge of risk
Improve knowledge of risk 1
• Create a permanent system of rela'ons between experts, researchers, planners, decision makers and ci'zens in order to produce, disseminate and apply the knowledge to the flood risk management.
• Create a permanent system of rela'onships between risk managers and operators of communica'on.
• Help mayors to exercise their task of informing ci'zens about the condi'ons of risk exis'ng in the municipality.
Improve knowledge of risk 2
• Promote permanent informa'on of ci'zens about the risks exis'ng.
• Involve economic operators in risk management. • Developing the provision of training on flood risk. • Make flood risk component of local knowledge.
Improve the performance of the defensive systems exis'ng 1
• Knowing and managing the hydraulic defense works.
• Prepare maintenance plans of the river. • Protect areas of natural floodplains. • Include structural measures in an integrated approach to managing flood risk.
Improve the performance of the defensive systems exis'ng 2
• Crontrole the forma'on of floods in the mountain part of basin.
• Slowing the flow of rainwater in urban areas. • Face the danger of floods from the sea.
Reduce exposure to risk 1
• Produce analysis of vulnerability of territories. • Promote analysis of vulnerability of buildings and infrastructures.
• Promote vulnerability analysis of economic ac'vi'es.
• Enhance and share knowledge about the ac'ons for reduce vulnerability
Provide greater space to the rivers 1
• Mi'gate and prevent the risk of flooding through redevelopment and restora'on of environmental and hydraulics func'ons of river areas.
• Maintain or restore the natural hydromorphological features of rivers.
• Restore forms and morphological structures on rivers heavily impacted with morphological quality poor or very poor.
Provide greater space to the rivers 2
• Demolish, adapt and manage the works to improve processes and hydro-‐morphological forms of the rivers.
• Promote a land use compa'ble with the hydro-‐morphological processes in the fluvial areas.
• Learn and disseminate the knowledge about the importance of the fluvial forms and the morphological processes of rivers.
Defense of ci'es and metropolitan areas 1
• Promote permanent ac'ons to develop an appropriate risk culture.
• Promo'ng governance appropriate for a comprehensive management of the basin in rela'on with risk urban flooding exposi'on.
• Reducing the vulnerability of the func'ons structuring the urban area.
• Integrate flood planning with plans for relocate infrastructures at risk and plans for restore rivers in metropolitan areas.
