The
Lower Mekong countries are prone to natural disasters, especially
typhoons and severe floods. All donors’ missions have identified
the data collection and warning systems as being obsolete, and local
response to floods is often inadequate for lack of flood modelling.
The strategy is to build up local expertise in these areas with
the help of European institutions which have a long experience in
watershed basin management, automatic data collection, early warning
systems, flood modelling and which are eager to share state of the
art technologies and software.
This
first component « get in touch and keep in touch activities »
aims at identifying and networking organisations in order to prepare
transfer of European technology and guidelines for adapting them
to the Southeast Asia countries geographic, climatic and institutional
environment. This will be achieved through a web-forum fed by E-papers
from the project partners and open to all experts. This will be
followed by a study tour in Europe and a final seminar in Hanoi
will draw the conclusions and define possible next component.
