Description:
LIFE FRANCA is a European project focusing on flood risk anticipation and communication in the Alps. Realizing that complete safety cannot be guaranteed, the project promotes a culture of environmental risks prevention in the Alps, with the objective of anticipating disasters and improving the safety of the region and the public.
The aim of LIFE FRANCA is to prepare the population for flood events in Trentino (Italy) through a process that will involve the participation both of the public and of specialists and administrators.
The results of this pilot project can be applied to other regions, as well as other natural risks related to climate change.
