The flood services platform covers both the plain floods and the flash floods risks analysis. This platform provides services at European level.
Plain flood risk management service
The Plain Flood Risk Management service provides decision-making tools from mapping to modeling, including damage assessment, as complement to the Core Service. The service is suited to be delivered on large territories and will bring benefit to the users involved in emergency response. Broadening the European dimension this interoperable service will be applied to test sites in New Member States of the European Union (NMS; here: Romania and Bulgaria). The service meets the requirements stated in the European flood directive and includes:
- Mapping of Past Flood Events
- Potential Flood Damage Maps
- Flood Information Service

Flash flood risk management service
Operations on Flash Flood Risk management, due to the spatial focus of the events on regional scale, are to be kept under the control of the local, regional or national authorities being concerned. Flash Flood services developed in the context of PACTES, RISKEOS and PREVIEW projects are therefore to be considered as demonstrator services to be implemented within the framework of each local or national hydro-meteorological operator having specific responsibilities in a country, region or basins prone to flash floods. Flash Flood services may also extend to the risk management of intense runoffs in medium or large rivers watersheds triggering hydraulic and damaging effects close to a typical Flash Flood response with similar associated impacts. |
