The FLOWS coordinator was invited by the Nederlands Institute for Public Safety (NIPV) to share a Walloon perspective on the 2021 floods and to present the FLOWS project during a meeting held in Valkenburg, Netherlands. Around the table were key actors involved in flood crisis management in the Dutch province of Limburg, including water managers, civil protection responders, crisis center personnel, and firefighters from Valkenburg, a city impacted by the floods in July 2021. Also present, three Catalan firefighters who had assisted their colleagues during the Valencian floods in October 2024.
The meeting enabled rich and insightful exchanges on the realities of flood response and the promising potential of Earth Observation technologies to support crisis management.
