Emergency & Flood

Unprecedent shifts in weather patterns are leading to an increased frequency of high impact natural events. Floods and other natural disasters can cause loss of lives, damages to infrastructures and properties, long-term consequences for communities and ecosystems. 


Prevention and protection are key aspects for reducing the impacts of natural hazards. Over the years, Maccaferri has channeled its solid experience into the development of engineered solutions to mitigate hydro-geological instabilities and act promptly in emergency situations.
