Description

Description of the Demonstrator

Following the storm Xynthia in 2010, the municipality of Châtelaillon-Plage has set up, with the municipality of Yves, Aix and Fouras, a system to fight against different types of flood called PAPI (Program of Actions Of Flood Prevention). The purpose of this system is to protect people, goods and activities against the risk of marine flooding. The various actions are carried out within mentioned PAPI action plan. The three major themes are taken into account: (i) Prevention and forecasting with improved knowledge and awareness of risk, surveillance, flood and flood forecasting, crisis alert and management, (ii) spatial planning where risk is taken into account along with actions to reduce the vulnerability of property and people and (iii) the works of protection. They included flow management (from the sea and marshes), creation of protective structures (e.g., breakwater, enhancement and thickening of existing coastal structures).

The structures are designed to withstand a more important event than Xynthia (Xynthia + 20cm). The nature of NBS activities are focused on: (i) regeneration of multi-purpose wetlands (oyster farming risk reduction) and (ii) engineering solutions (hybrid configuration).
