The EU Interreg project RAINMAN has ended and some of our results are now available online. For everyone!<\/p>\n<p>In the course of the project we developed a toolkit to support local authorities in developing emergency response plans to cope with heavy rainfall events. The documents are publicly available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/rainman-toolbox.eu\/home\/tools-methods\/risk-reduction-measures\/emergency-response\/\">RAINMAN website.<\/a> With the help of this toolkit we then created an emergency response plan for selected pilot areas in the city of Graz.<\/p>\n<p>In order to perform a first (fictitious) stress test of the work with the emergency response plan, the fire brigade of Graz organised an operational exercise. In this exercise, a precipitation scenario is assumed and a disaster operation is coordinated. In order to give all interested persons an insight into the operational work, a video was produced which shows the most important steps.<\/p>\n<p>We are very pleased to have been part of this important project and are convinced that our documents will help to reduce the negative consequences of increasingly heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>For further information <a href=\"https:\/\/rainman-toolbox.eu\/\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4659-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/riocom.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/20_04_RAINMAN_01_komp4.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/riocom.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/20_04_RAINMAN_01_komp4.mp4\">https:\/\/riocom.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/20_04_RAINMAN_01_komp4.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Video showing the fire brigade\u2019s operational exercise.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RAINMAN Toolbox provides the public with innovative risk reduction tools.
