For perusal: Flood Contingency Plan Limburg 2022 - 2026.
Veiligheidsregio Zuid-Limburg announces that, in view of Article 17 paragraph 1 of the Security Regions Act, it intends to adopt the revised Flood Disaster Response Plan Limburg on December 2, .
The disaster response plan describes the way in which the Zuid-Limburg Safety Region and the Limburg-Noord Safety Region will respond to flood scenarios that may occur in the province of Limburg. The disaster response plan helps to ensure that all authorities and other organizations involved take effective action to bring residents to safety in the event of (imminent) flooding or failure of a primary flood defense system.
The current disaster response plan Flooding Maas (2020-2023) of the Limburg safety regions still has a duration of one year. However, the disaster response plan was updated early so that the first learning points of the 2021 flood crisis could be incorporated. Thus, there was no waiting for the expiration of the legal deadline. As a result, the crisis organizations are already better prepared for the coming flood season than before. The plan will be revised several times in the coming period in order to be ever better prepared.
Where can you view the disaster response plan?
Before the revised disaster response plan is adopted by the board of the safety region, in accordance with Section 3.4 of the General Administrative Law Act, the disaster response plan will be available for inspection for a period of six weeks. Interested parties and interested parties can inspect the disaster response plan during opening hours at the City Office desk, Markt 33 in Kerkrade.
