European Flood Directive

The European Flood Directive is a piece of legislation aimed at reducing the risk of flooding in Europe. It requires member countries to assess flood risks, develop management plans, and take preventive measures. The directive encourages collaboration and information sharing among countries to ensure better preparedness and response to floods. By identifying vulnerable areas and implementing strategies to protect communities, it seeks to minimize the impact of floods on people, property, and the environment, ultimately promoting resilience against flooding events across Europe.
