Identifying and managing flood risks

Comprehensive and river basin-wide management is needed to deal with floods.

Managing the hazards and risks posed by floods includes precautionary measures, preparation for a flood, hazard prevention during an event and post-event management, including reconstruction. The uniform application of flood risk management has been ensured in the EU-Flood Risk Management Directive since 2007.
