Planning for flood resilience in Romania : Results and lessons

This report summarizes activities conducted under the RO - FLOODS Project in order to implement the EU Floods Directive and to strengthen flood risk management in Romania.

The Project resulted in the development of new flood hazard and risk maps for all 526 areas of potential significant flood risk and 12 new flood risk management plans (FRMPs) for Romania's 11 river basin administrations (RBAs) and for the Danube River. The flood risk assessment conducted under the FRMP demonstrates the substantial flood risks Romania is currently facing and how they will increase due to climate change. The FRMP's programs of measures (PoMs) provide a comprehensive agenda for Romania to effectively manage and reduce flood risks, protecting its people, economy, and environment.
