The city of Klaipeda has established a comprehensive 26-point action plan aimed at managing potential floods, underscoring the importance of public safety and the dissemination of clear information to residents. Mayor Arvydas Vaitkus emphasized the need for citizens to be aware of flood protocols, ensuring they know how to react in case of an emergency. The plan involves continuous monitoring of water levels, assessment of geological conditions, and collaboration with responsible local authorities to react swiftly to potential flooding effects.

The action plan is shaped by a risk assessment of the Akmena-Danės river basin and historical data from past floods, leading to the identification of areas at risk of flooding. Updates to risk maps are part of the initiative, along with the collection of data on residents living in flood-prone areas. In response to imminent threats, local government heads and emergency response centers will be promptly notified, facilitating quick communication of information to the public, ensuring they remain informed about the unfolding situation.

Additional measures include traffic restrictions on potentially flooded streets and preparation of rescue equipment for emergency operations. The city intends to minimize the impact of flood events through these outlined strategies and find ways to lessen the consequences for affected residents. This proactive approach not only aims to safeguard lives but also demonstrates an organized response mechanism to natural disasters.
