Abstract

The Districts of the Siagne watershed, coastal river flowing into the Mediterranean sea, along the border of the Var and Alpes Maritimes departments, suffered from numerous important floods. Aware of their responsibilities and due to great development stakes on their area, they have chosen to build a complete security system for people and property settled in areas fiable to be flooded. Once actually set up in the District Association of the Siagne River and Tributaries (SISA), the Owner, it will include:

- A warning system, based on the mastered use of the available images, processed by Meteo France.

- An operational structure able to be used depending on different levels (watch, vigilance, pre-alert, alert) and different levels of seriousness, whose missions will be clearly defined. It will be based on GIS, to keep an operating knowledge data base.

- A coordination, on one hand, with the Departmental Security Planning and, on the other hand, with the Districts Security Planning. The S.I.S.A. now deals with the set problems by econonomic and operating integration into a recent Districts Association.
