The project SAFECOAST – “The informed society” aims to inform and sensitize the public and political decision maker about storm surge risks by an effective communication strategy. The acceptance for coastal defence and disaster control should be improved through targeted information. The risk of the inhabitants in flood prone areas should decrease within these communication activities.
The Interreg IIIB-Project SAFECOAST considers the question of how to manage our North Sea coasts in 2050 and focuses on the consequences of climate change and spatial developments with respect to safety from coastal flooding.
One objective is to create an informed society with the establishment of targeted information as well as by testing appropriate information tools for different target groups. One of the primary activities is the conduction and monitoring of information campaigns in pilot areas.
