#hydrorisk

The project aims to reduce the hydrological risks (flooding, inland flooding, flash floods) in the common border watershed of the Bodrogköz/Medzibodrožie area and to increase the resilience of the border population. The partners will jointly develop their voluntary intervention capacities.
The following elements will be implemented:
– Establishment of the HYDRORISK network for cross-border voluntary cooperation involving municipalities and other voluntary organisations with the expansion of an existing network (CODE VDIC)
– Creation of a pool of intervention institutions based on a preliminary needs assessment, in cooperation with relevant institutions in the target area (e.g. health institutions, nursing homes, etc.)
– Construction of a new storage building in Cigánd, purchase of a storage facility in Sátoraljaújhely for the central and safe storage of flood protection equipment
– Construction of a fast-flow stormwater drainage channel system and a stormwater reservoir in Kráľovský Chlmec
– Purchase of the necessary flood protection/intervention equipment (Cigánd: ditching/excavator-loading machine, aggregators, pumps, protective equipment, hand tools, weather station; ZTKPVSZ: Flatbed truck for flood protection, quad, mobile meteorological station, protective clothing, thermal camera, tents, shelving system for storage of purchased equipment, IT equipment; Kráľovský Chlmec: lawn mower tractor, petrol-engine scythe, camera system for complex management of hydrological problems, etc. )
– Human capacity building on flood protection, so-called “Training of Trainers”, followed by local training for volunteers in Cigánd and Kráľovský Chlmec, and a joint final exercise
– Practice-oriented knowledge transfer campaigns:
o joint thematic summer youth camps (1/year, 2 in total)
o 1-1 awareness-raising campaign linked to major events for the wider population (Safety Day (HU), Festival Medzibodrožie (SK))
All these are aimed at enabling and ensuring a more efficient voluntary intervention and adaptation of the population along the border in case of emergency.
able and ensure the adaptation of the border population in case of emergency, by reaching as many participants as possible.
