Storm alarm |
|
For the first time in 40 years the Dutch, English and Germans expect a heavy storm and high tide. The complete Dutch coast is monitored by dyke inspectors. The dams of the Dutch Delta coast protection system called the Delta Works are closed. For the futuristic Maeslandt dam that can close off the entrance of the Rotterdam harbor, this is the first time since it was constructed. Although some English streets are flooded, the storm and high tide turn out to be pretty harmless. Extensive video footage of the Dutch cost protection system is needed for background reportage.
Activities: story advise, footage advise.
