Future of FLIWAS

• Anchor FLIWAS in crisismanagement
• Using FLIWAS at different levels (action,
  operational, strategic)
• Multidisciplinary exercises
• Prospects for implementation (score-card)
• Development knowledge centre
• River and coast
• Attention for improvement communication
  government ??public during floods
  (ERC,)
• FLIWAS information to the National level
  (DCC VW and NCC BzK)

22
Future of FLIWAS

• Attention for evacuation
• Publication scientific and popular
• Fix results for further use by other
