| Zusammenfassung |
| For comprehensive flood risk management, accurate information on flood
hazards is crucial. While in the past an estimate of potential flood
consequences in large areas was often sufficient to make decisions on flood
protection, there is currently an increasing demand to have detailed hazard
maps available to be able to consider other risk-reducing measures as well.
Hazard maps are a prerequisite for spatial planning, but can also support
emergency management, the design of flood mitigation measures, and the
setting of insurance policies. The increase in flood risks due to population
growth and economic development in hazardous areas in the past shows that
sensible spatial planning is crucial to prevent risks increasing further.
Assigning the least hazardous locations for development or adapting
developments to the actual hazard requires comprehensive flood hazard maps.
Since flood hazard is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, many different maps
could be relevant. Having large numbers of maps to take into account does not, however, make planning easier. To support flood risk management planning
we therefore introduce a new approach in which all relevant flood hazard
parameters can be combined into two comprehensive maps of flood damage
hazard and flood fatality hazard. |
