Dutch flood test |
|
The Dutch Taskforce Management Floods organises the 'Water Test', a national floods simulation exercise. The participants of the 'Water Test' are administrators, national-, regional- and local emergency services and the water board districts. On the basis of the worst imaginable floods the involved departments and services will practice the operational preparation and handling of simulated floods. The 'water test' is mainly a simulation exercise with a few visible elements like the bursting of a dike, evacuation, the reinforcement of dunes and a multidisciplinary rescue operation.
Activities: research.
