Proje Özeti:

This project will continue the partnership and joint cooperation in the field of prevention created under the project PREVENT, CB005.1.11.165, implemented under the First call for project proposals of the Programme, between two project partners: Municipality of Dimitrovgrad and Municipality of Uzunkopru. The main Project Objective is aiming at creation of favourable conditions to define professionally the “hot spots” where intervention is needed, secure innovative technical equipment and increase the awareness of the population for disaster prevention and rescue activities.
The activities planned within the project include innovative approach for ensuring sustainability of the prevention measures against flooding in cross-border region. This innovative measure consists of increasing the technical capacity of the partners aiming to implement successful and long-term activities in prevention of floods as maintenance of dykes, corrections of rivers and gullies and realization of other hydro-technical and protective facilities. Municipality of Dimitrovgrad will purchase a new machine with a full range of equipment, ensuring its practicability and working in narrow, steep beds of rivers, water channels, ditches and road lay-bys to protect national and municipal roads from floods to provide normal accessibility during natural disasters. Municipality of Uzunkopru will purchase a new and innovative excavator with chains and one tired wheel loader that will provide a chance to the machines to work in the flooded areas especially for clearing and opening of river channels between the agricultural fields.
The project envisages training for young people from both municipalities as volunteers for flood action in the cross-border area, as well as analyses for preparation of hazard map for floods.
As a result, more than 50 km infrastructural works related to the improvement of the rivers, water channels, ditches, gullies and road lay-bys will be done. The normal flow of water, especially of rivers in the cross-border region, will be ensured. The equipment purchased will used for maintaining of the local dams and their embankments, that threating many local settlements from flooding.
