Upcoming event on 21-23 September 2010 in Paris: you are invited!
1 June 2010
The third international trade exhibition PREVIRISQ will be held on 21-23 September 2010 in Paris. It is the European meeting place for flood prevention methods and sustainable urban development. You are welcome to participate!
On 21-23 September 2010, the third PREVIRISQ trade fair will be organised at the Parc Floral in Paris. It is organised by one of the FRC partners; Grand Lacs du Seine, in cooperation with other French institutions and with financial support from the INTERREG IVB North West Europe programme.
Flooding affects more than 8,000 communities and five million people in France, making it the country’s most important naturally occurring disaster risk. In Europe, over 700 fatalities, the displacement of about half a million people and at least 25 billion euros in damage have been caused by floods in the last decade. Flood management is, therefore, evolving and now also includes national planning and the conservation of economic activities.
Flood prevention professionals, town planners and architects will be exhibiting their innovative products, services and activities at the PREVIRISQ 2010 trade fair. Local governments, network administrators and researchers will be able to assess the latest techniques and discuss strategic issues and ordinary citizens will be able to discover products suitable to their individual situations. The public is also invited to take part in discussions about public policies regarding flood prevention, urban development and waterways.
On the first day of the event, the FRC project will be presented at a conference about flood resistance in major European cities, on the second day, a conference will be held about flood management in France in relation to European Flood Risk Management Directive and the last day will focus on the Seine plan and flood management in the Paris region.
