WP9 Regional Hazard Workshop III: Riverine Floods in Central Europe

Riverine floods in Central Europe causing substantial damages have been regularly occurring since the early 1990s along the Rhine, Oder and Elbe Rivers. But flooding is a key risk threatening most European societies. Consequently, transnational flood policy is currently striving towards the new approach of flood risk management which is particularly visible in the European Floods Directive from 2007.
