Within the project; Uzunkopru and Dimitrovgrad municipalities will provide special equipment for riverbed cleaning, will analyze and identify "hot spots" with increased flood risk, and will work to raise awareness of local people about disaster prevention and rescue activities.

In addition, a joint volunteer group of citizens and young people will be set up under the project with aim to manage disasters.

Also the project activities include; analysis and mapping of flood hazard areas in the Uzunkopru and Dimitrovgrad areas. Innovative approaches will be implemented to ensure the sustainability of flood prevention measures in the cross-border area: both municipalities will purchase and use special machines to clean local riverbeds to prevent local flooding in the cross-border area. The river beds identified in the area will be cleaned and training will be provided for disaster protection among local people and children. It is also envisaged to create an online platform for the Joint Volunteer Group to reduce the risk of flooding in the cross-border region and ensure sustainability and cooperation on the project.
