Marhetak

Improving euregional cooperation in times of flooding

The aim of the Marhetak project is to robustify the cooperation between the euregional services legally responsible for crisis management and weather, water and soil services in times of a flood crisis.

The Veiligheidsregio Zuid-Limburg in the form of EMRIC, the Public service of Wallonia, the Federal public service Home Affairs Belgium and Water Board Limburg will work to align images of forecasts, facilitate uniform information provision, link data sources, harmonize risk assessments and crisis communication. Lastly, emergency response equipment will be inventarized and complemented where necessary. The project was concluded on December 12, 2023, with a live exercise on better crisis management in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine.

This project is being carried out within the context of Interreg V-A Euregio Meuse Rhine, with 1.908.003,55 euros from the European Regional Development Fund.
