This lecture covers the concept of protection measures against floods, including passive protection measures such as object measurements, territorial prescriptions, and hazard maps. It also discusses the importance of understanding flood intensity, vulnerability, and protection objectives. The presentation delves into the planning and implementation of protection concepts, as well as the different levels of danger intensity and probability events. Furthermore, it explores the role of active protection measures, such as flood retention, watercourse development, and flood diversion. The lecture concludes with a detailed explanation of alarm and evacuation plans, critical points, and communication chains in flood management.
