INTRODUCTION
TO BLUELABEL
Mitigating risk starts with knowing your risk. Using smart technologies that highlight areas vulnerable to flooding, BlueLabel aims to empower governments, industries, organisations and home owners to take specific measures that will mitigate the risks of rainwater flooding.
This insight can be used to effectively plan large and small-scale interventions towards greater flood resilience, thus allowing authorities to meet the responsibility of providing safe living environments and improve the liveability of cities.
By identifying the risk to assets, BlueLabel also facilitates informed decisions around capital expenditure, investment management, business supply chain management, and navigation between destinations during extreme weather events.
UNITED NATIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE
“Climate change is one of the major challenges of our time and adds considerable stress to our societies and to the environment. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly.”

WHAT IS COMING FOR YOU
To determine the BlueLabel ranking of a land parcel, structure or road, reliable information is needed about the depth of water on and around the plot in case of flooding due to extreme rainfall. BlueLabel uses innovative smart technology to translate this information into an easily understandable ranking on our BlueMaps, which is depicted visually for each property, street and infrastructure object – allowing people to understand risk at a glance.In the map you can see, for the Netherlands, the distribution of labels (A to E) per municipal area, and you can search for a particular zipcode area to get more detailed label distribution information in that area. Note that the descriptions are in Dutch due to publication via the Dutch Broadcasting Foundation (www.nos.nl), but we are happy to answer any questions in English where needed.
