The main objective of the project is to increase the level of protection against floods in the c/b area of Greece and Bulgaria and especially in areas with high probability of flood events across the two international river basins of Struma/Strymon and Evros/Maritsa. In order to achieve this main objective, PBs have concluded on a number of sub-objectives which then were transformed into concrete actions. The sub-objectives of the project are: • improvement/support/maintenance of existing permanent flood protection infrastructure in order to either increase their ability to constrain flood water or facilitate better water flow and therefore reduce the risk of flood. • supply of necessary equipment that will enable PBs to react promptly against imminent floods and constrain the negative effects of water in flood areas. • Enhance the cooperation between competent authorities in the two countries and their capacity to address climate change consequences, and especially soil erosion. • enable the resumption of economic activities and agricultural production in the identified priority regions. • Ensure the sustainability of the proposed interventions and the cooperation of the PBs after the official end of the project. • Raise awareness among the population in the cross border area regarding climate change, floods, their potential impact and hazards. • Raise awareness among local authorities about specific social impacts of disasters on vulnerable categories and strengthen participatory preparedness and resilience capacities that respond to community expectations. The project is directly related to the aims and priorities of the Programme and particularly to PA2, SO3 since it will strengthen the capacity of local actors to prevent / limit damage caused by floods, increase the resilience to c/b floods and contribute to the fulfillment of Directive 2007/60/EC requirements.
