Climate actions
Construction of buildings in flood prone areas
Objective
To guarantee the hydrogeological and hydraulic safeguard of already built areas or improve the pre-existing conditions.Description
The construction actions in areas subject to hydraulic risk must include hydraulic compatibility measures that include the disposal of rainwater through the creation of reservoir and lamination systems; construction of adequate rainwater drainage systems for paved areas; construction of sewer and disposal lines; prohibition of covering waterways.
Expected results
Reduced vulnerability of buildings to flood damage not only due to climate change in already critical inhabited areas but also to ordinary events.Result indicators
