Participation in Hackathon DRRS Program in Recife, Brazil
Eva Pfannes is one of the core members of the Dutch water experts team deployed by RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) for the Dutch Disaster Risk Reduction & Surge Support (DRRS) programme in Recife. DRRS aims to prevent and reduce the impact of water and climate-related disasters worldwide and increase the resilience of affected areas and populations.
A Hackathon is a pressure cooker type of workshop, in which an interdisciplinary group of people answers a research question, exploring problems and solutions in a different way.
Eva is in Recife with Ben Lamore (RVO), Adri Verwey (Deltares), Renske de Winter (Deltares), Femke Schasfoort (Deltares) and a large team of local experts and city officials. They will focus on the main question:
“What are the consequences of low, medium and high-end climate change on flooding in Recife and what are robust solutions?"
