European countries are implementing early flood-warning protocols, driven largely by the EU Floods Directive and the EU Cross-Border Cooperation Programme (EU, 2003). Turkey and Bulgaria have developed three joint projects – one to exchange information and real-time data and two for flood forecasting and warning. These are the first common forecasting projects in the region. Information is shared on a common website including real-time information from two hydrometric stations. The transboundary forecasting and early warning system will be used as input for local and regional preparedness and emergency response plans (UNECE, 2009).
