Flood protection in Bremerhaven
Lecture and discussion
Volkshochschule in cooperation with the Senator for the Environment, Climate and Science (SUKW)
Around 90% of Bremerhaven is potentially at risk from flooding. Around 83,000 people live within these endangered areas. Do you too? Find out about the objectives of the EU Flood Risk Management Directive, which also apply to Bremerhaven: Flood hazard and flood maps for Bremerhaven have been drawn up and published, for example, and the implementation of structural measures has been developed as part of the General Plan for Coastal Protection Part I and Part III. You will also find out which forecasts are included in the general plan and what the requirements are for sustainable and forward-looking coastal and flood protection - and which have already been implemented or are currently being planned (such as the "Geestemündung incl. barrage" project). Afterwards there will be time for your questions.
Anika Rühl works at SUKW as head of the section "Implementation of the General Plan for Coastal Protection - Parts I and III" and accompanies the coastal protection projects from the design and approval process to the completion of the measures.
