➡️ The “FLOODGUARD 2” Targeted Project (RSO2.4.), built on the results of the FLOODGUARD project of “Greece-Bulgaria 2014-2020″, aims at increasing the capacity of first responders to act in floods and related emergencies, in the cross-border region of Greece Bulgaria. Its objectives ensure a timely response to disasters and crises by supplying specialized equipment, conducting joint training and exercise as well as raising awareness and preparedness.

➡️ The primary objective of “FLOODPROTECTION 2” Targeted Project (RSO2.4.), building on the results of “FLOODPROTECTION” project of “Greece-Bulgaria 2014-2020″, is to improve the level of flood protection in the cross-border region of Greece and Bulgaria, particularly in areas identified as being at risk of flooding of the Strymon/Struma, Ardas/Arda and Evros/Maritsa rivers. These river systems are vital not only for their ecological and hydrological significance but also for the socio-economic well-being of the communities they traverse.
