Each Party shall undertake Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment for its part of the Sava River Basin, taking into account the Directive 2007/60/EC 2. In the process of Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, the Parties shall exchange all relevant data, in principle, through the Sava Commission or bilaterally, as appropriate 3. In the case of bilateral exchange of the relevant data from paragraph 2 of this Article, the latter shall also be delivered to the Sava Commission, without delay 4. Based on the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, each Party shall, on the part of the Sava River Basin on its territory, identify those areas for which it concludes that potential significant flood risk exists or might be considered likely to occur 5. Each Party shall, through the Sava Commission, inform the other Parties on the identified areas–fromPreparedParagraph 4 of this byArticle the 6. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the activities on harmonization of the areas identified pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article shared by two or more Parties, identified by the Parties as the areas of mutual interest for flood protection ISRBC in 2014

Article 7 of the Protocol states: 1. Each Party shall prepare Flood Maps for the areas identified in the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment as referred to in Article 6 of this Protocol for the part of the Sava river basin under its jurisdiction, taking into account the Directive 2007/60/EC 2. Each Party shall, through the Sava Commission, inform other Parties on the Flood Maps prepared for its territory 3. The respective Parties shall agree upon the methodology for mapping of the flood areas shared by two or more Parties, identified according to the Article 6 paragraph 4 of this Protocol, and, thereof, inform the Sava Commission 4. The Parties may, for purpose of joint implementation of the activities from paragraph 1 of this Article, agree to develop a joint methodology for preparation of Flood Maps for the whole Sava River Basin 5. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the development of the Methodology from paragraph 4 of this Article
FHA Bosnia and Herzegovina Fed: yes RoS: n/a DB: n/a Croatia yes Serbia yes Slovenia yes Montenegro n/a Flood Risk Management Plan - Aims to set up common objectives of flood risk management on SRB-scale, based on long-term sustainable approaches, and - Aims to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach to flood risk management in the SRB - The Sava FRMP will result with sets of measures (structural and non-structural) relevant for the entire river basin - The Sava FRMP shall compile the measures to be implemented by the countries - The joint Plan shall among other, asses their impact in transboundary context, their spatial distribution, prioritization, timing and modes of implementation Flood forecasting and warning
The Protocol states: The Parties shall establish a Flood Forecasting, Warning and Alarm System in the Sava River Basin and to jointly undertake all necessary actions for establishment of the System, including the development of the project documentation. The Sava Commission shall coordinate the activities on establishment of the System. After the System is established, the Parties shall ensure its regular maintenance and performance control, as well as regular training of the engaged personnel, with application of joint standards. Supporting actions in flood management US Government support to the Sava countries
1. To support the development of hydrologic and hydraulic models of the Sava River Basin, tools that will strengthen multilateral cooperation in the basin, primarily in the area of flood protection 2. To support activities leading to the preparation of a flood risk management plan as well as the development of the system for flood forecasting 3. To establish the models that could be used for other purposes in future (modeling sediment transport, water quality, climate change analysis, etc.)
• Hydrologic model of the Sava River Basin (2010, 2014, 2016)
– 1 for the complete Sava River basin (SavaFFWS)
– 4 for the Sava River mainstem (Sava hydraulic model)
– 17 for the main tributaries
• Hydraulic model of the Sava River (2012, 2016-2018)
– New geometry (LiDAR based DTM)
– 2-D simulation possibilities FRM data and information exchange
• Sava GIS www.savagis.org – Flood management module • Preliminary flood risk assessment • Flood hazard and risk maps • Flood Risk Management Plan • Flood protection structures – Metadata Catalogue • Database of flood related projects/activities
• Reports on floods
– May 2014 (made in cooperation with ICPDR) • entire affected area covered and includes causes, consequences and actions taken, lessons learned, recommendations • dissemination through e-version ICPDR & ISRBC web-sites, printed version, NewsFlash Flood Risk Management

A Joint System Hosting Sava FRMP
Elements of the draft Sava FRMP (1) Summary of the conclusions relevant for the basin, drawn from the PFRA
(2) Summary of the conclusions relevant for the basin, drawn from the FRH maps
(3) Objectives of flood risk management of common interest in the Sava River Basin
(4) Summary of Measures - SoM (structural and non-structural), to achieve the goals, relevant for the basin as a whole, including preparation of the Catalogue of Measures Sava FRMP ...
(5) Environmental Impact Report (Analaysis) for the SoM that should ensure ecological foundations for identification of special environment protection requirements. Type and level of SoM realization impact on environment, as well as optimum mitigation measures aimed at reducing, or eliminating, harmful impacts for the measures
(6) Mechanisms of coordination on the basin-wide level to connect experts in Sava Basin through Sava GIS Geoportal and promote Sava GIS and HIS in all beneficiaries
(7) Modes of cooperation of the Sava countries in the flood defence emergency situations including the arrangements in the basin for forecasting and warning
Preparation and implementation of the process for public information and consultation in all phases of development of Sava FRMP Sava FRMP
Additional Outputs: • Proposal of basin-wide “Catalogue of Measures” with analyses of consistency with today’s praxis in all 4 Parties to the FASRB and ME • Simplified common basin-wide CB Analyses for structural and non-structural flood prot. measures with cross-border and transboundary impacts • Type and level of measures realization impact on environment and optimum mitigation measures aimed at reducing, or eliminating, harmful impacts • Analyses and maps for presentation of potential synergies between PoM of Sava RBMP and SoM of Sava FRMP • Analyses and maps of existing and potential “new” (classified regarding level of acceptance) floodplains • Designed the FRMP database module and implemented it into SavaGIS • Strategy for follow-up
