This is the official launch of the SafeCoast internet site.
The objective is to keep this Internet site updated on both the project progress, and ongoing issues relating to coastal risk management. Check also our links page to get an overview of links relating to flood risk management.

The European Commission is currently developing an EU Flood Action Programme (also known as the initiative on flood prevention, protection and mitigation), which is a ‘package’ of three distinct but closely interlinked components:

• Research and information : improvement of the exchange of information and knowledge, sharing experiences and increasing awareness
  
  
• EU funding tools : targeted approach to the best use of funding tools
   
• Proposal for a legal instrument : proposal for a Floods Directive.

Results and evaluation of the Internet consultation on a possible EU wide Flood Risk Directive are available on the Internet here.
All complementary comments received relating to this consultation are available here. See the links page to be directed to the respective internet site of the European Commission.
