City of Göttingen Recognized for Exceptional Handling of Heavy Rainfall

The city of Göttingen, in partnership with the Göttingen Waste Management Authority (GEB), has been awarded in the "Climate Municipal" competition for their project "Gö goes green: Inform, advise, support - Heavy Rainfall Preparedness Göttingen". This project, aimed at mitigating the impacts of heavy rain events and adapting life in Göttingen to climate change, has been praised for its innovative approach.

The project includes an advisory and information service and a web-based heavy rainfall hazard map. Property owners can benefit from this service, which is provided free of charge. The advisory service consists of an individual property information service and an on-site consultation. Competent experts from the GEB are available to support property owners with extensive experience in advising on property drainage.

The heavy rainfall hazard map shows potentially flooded areas within the city in case of a heavy rainfall event. Additionally, a property-specific map material is provided through the property information service to help assess flood risk.

Registration for city administration news is easy and free. City Administration news can be conveniently received on smartphones via Telegram and Notify. For more complex queries, Verwalti, the digital guide from the administration, can answer simple questions and direct users to the right contact person.

The response to the project will be evaluated in the coming months, and the service will be adjusted and further developed as necessary. Feedback or opinions on the message can be sent directly to YourOpinion@ourwebsite.

On Monday, September 2, 2024, the project received a prize money of 15,000 euros in Hannover. While the jury for the "Climate Municipal" 2024 award has not been explicitly identified in the given search results, it is worth noting that notable sustainability and climate-related juries for 2025 include experts like John Elkington and Vandinika Shukla. However, this is related to the CSO Awards North America, not directly to the "Climate Municipal" 2024 prize.
