AI4FLOOD PROJECT : Adapting and improving flood prevention

Integration of artificial intelligence and citizen participation for flood prevention at municipal level

Climate change and intensive urbanisation have increased the risk of flooding, posing unprecedented challenges for municipalities. AI4FLOOD was born out of the urgent need to develop proactive responses, combining cutting-edge technology and citizen participation to improve prevention and response capacity in the face of these natural disasters. An innovation and cross-border collaboration project for the prevention, protection and preparation for flood-related emergencies.

Kick-off meeting on 18 january 2024

AI4FLOOD is an innovative project that uses artificial intelligence to anticipate floods, providing communities with advanced tools for early detection and effective management of flood risk. This cross-border project combines efforts between Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Navarre and Gipuzkoa to create safer and more resilient communities, uniting entities and businesses from all three regions.

This project has been 65% co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg VI-A Spain-France-Andorra programme (POCTEFA 2021-2027) and will run for 4 years. The aim of the POCTEFA is to strengthen the economic and social integration of the Spain-France-Andorra border area.
