SMIAGE Maralpin implements continuous monitoring of its territory's waterways to anticipate risks associated with Mediterranean episodes. This system operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In the municipality of Valbonne, the Brague river benefits from an advanced surveillance system. It includes a camera, limnimetric scales to measure water levels, and a radar to track flow rates. SMIAGE teams are responsible for the installation, maintenance of this equipment, and the analysis of collected data.
In the event of a major weather event, an on-call team is immediately mobilized. They analyze the information provided by the monitoring devices to inform the affected municipalities and state services, including the Préfecture, in real-time about the evolution of the river situation.
This set of instruments is an essential tool for flood prevention. It allows for the anticipation of weather phenomena and associated risks, thereby facilitating rapid decision-making to ensure the protection of the residents of the Alpes-Maritimes.
