Objectives
The main objective of the project (Ob1) is to implement a series of actions that will offer nature-based solutions for the prevention of natural disasters (wildfires and floods) in the cross border area and will mitigate their consequences when they take place. This double objective form two distinct axes/sub-objectives acting as two parallel layers; (1) Prevention of natural disasters in the cross border area and (2) Regeneration of the cross border ecosystem after forest fires for flood prevention.
In the 1st layer, new technologies will be used to record/study the natural behaviour of the cross border area in order targeted measures for prevention to be proposed with the minimum environmental footprint. Taking into account their impact in human population, Thessaloniki, Pella and JASEN were selected as study areas.
The 2nd layer is a network of activities that acknowledges the connection between fires and floods and focuses on the quick regeneration of the natural environment of the cross border area after fires; this way, floods caused by damaged ecosystems will be prevented.
Other objectives are:
- Ob2: To promote interventions with nature-based character as a environmental friendly way of acting for the public benefit (targeted to all TGs)
- Ob3: To support the civil protection authorities in the development of their civil protection plans (targeted to TG1)
- Ob4: To apply innovative high-edge technology in the field of civil protection in the cross border area (targeted to TG1, TG2, TG3)
- Ob5: To protect the natural ecosystem of the cross border area by offering new knowledge for its flora species (targeted to TG2, TG3 and TG5)
- Ob6: To improve the awareness of the local population in measures of civil protection (targeted to TG4, TG5)
- Ob7: To promote the cross border approach as a solution for the challenges of the natural disasters (targeted to all TGs).
