| Over the past decade Europe has been hit by a number of severe flood events.
Reviews of recent large flood events in England and France have indicated
that there is room for improvement in the emergency planning for floods.
Methods that can be used for the systematic assessment and improvement of
emergency plans are extensively documented in readily available literature.
However, those that do exist are often limited to appraising the content of
the plans rather than the process that the plan should guide. This paper
describes research to develop a systematic method for assessing and
improving emergency plans, which is called the FIM FRAME method. The
development of the method was informed by research carried out with
stakeholders in France, the Netherlands and England, as well as an appraisal
of available tools that can be used to develop and improve plans, and an
analysis of a selection of flood emergency plans from the three countries.
One of the fundamental requirements of the FIM FRAME method was that it
should be able to be applied by the relevant stakeholders to a range of
emergency plans that mainly focus on flooding. The method comprises a series
of steps (known as Appraise, Tackle and Implement) that can assist
stakeholders with assessing and improving emergency plans. The method was
piloted in the three countries and then refined following feedback from end
users. This paper describes the development of the FIM FRAME method and its
application in three case studies affected by different types of floods. |
