| Zusammenfassung |
| The NW Mediterranean region experiences every year heavy rainfall and flash
floods that occasionally produce catastrophic damages. Less frequent are
floods that affect large regions. Although a large number of databases
devoted exclusively to floods or considering all kind of natural hazards do
exist, usually they only record catastrophic flood events. This paper deals
with the new flood database that is being developed within the framework of
HYMEX project. Results are focused on four regions representative of the NW
sector of Mediterranean Europe: Catalonia, Spain; the Balearic Islands,
Spain; Calabria, Italy; and Languedoc-Roussillon, Midi-Pyrénées and
PACA, France. The common available 30-yr period starts in 1981 and ends
in 2010. The paper shows the database structure and criteria, the comparison
with other flood databases, some statistics on spatial and temporal
distribution, and an identification of the most important events. The paper
also provides a table that includes the date and affected region of all the
catastrophic events identified in the regions of study, in order to make
this information available for all audiences. |
