Objective:  Proof of concepts of the methods and systems developed in WP1-4, as well as the operational verification of the FF & DF forecasting platform developed in WP7 on 5 real test-beds with different characteristics and climatic conditions.

Task 8.1: Implementation of the prototype tools developed in SP7 in the test-bed areas. Verification of the proper performances of the platform in pseudo real-time mode (simulation of real-time conditions) following the directives provided by SP6.

Task 8.2: Real time verification and test exercises simulating emergency situations. Validation of the procedures and tools. Feed back to the platform developers to improve the tested platform.

Task 8.3: Identification of the key problems of operational practitioners during FF & DF events and elaboration of a best practice guide. Provide inputs to the implementation of the upcoming Flood Risk Management Directive.
