The interdisciplinary Argentinean project ?Anticipando la Crecida? deals with recurrent floods in the La Plata Basin. The main focus is the improvement of disaster risk management associated with intense rain events and southeasterly wind « sudestadas » driven floods. The study area is known as ?La Ribera?, located at Quilmes City of the Buenos Aires province in Argentina. The project is based on interdisciplinary research and participative activities also involving local stakeholders. The approach is expected to integrate environmental and social knowledge of scientists and local community. The aim is to create an adapted methodology to spatial and temporal scales of this coastal risk. Participative observations and open interviews will be complemented with geographic territorial analysis and meteorological and oceanographically diagnosis in order to optimize risk and flood maps as well as prediction tools.
