The project aims to assist local governments in integrating flood risk management principles into their plans and improving the climate resilience of flood protection infrastructure. It will introduce advanced technologies and systems, satellite-based technology, hydrometeorological sensors, and flood forecasting and early warning systems to better predict and monitor flood risks. Additionally, the project will focus on empowering women by enhancing their skills to operate these systems and advocating for their active involvement in flood risk management planning.
