History See presentation WG-F 14: https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/fd482ade-c055-404a-9825-d5b429cbd015/12.a%20EEA%20European%20Flood%20Impact%20Database.pptx
WG-F 16: remained open issue in the list of Thematic Workshop consolidated outcomes 2<br>
03
Progress and actual state Data sources
Primarily based on PFRA (past floods) reporting
Combined with EM-DAT and DFO data
‘Common’ level of detail in space and time
Defining flood phenomena 3<br>
04
Flood phenomena Flood phenomenon is understood as distinct hydrological situation which can occur on several, spatially separated locations within one or many river basins 4<br>
05
Documents Letter and guidelines: http://forum.eionet.europa.eu/nrc-eionet-freshwater/library/country-review-european-floods-impact-database-2015
Excel sheet per country (e-mail) 5<br>
06
Editing and coordination Only red fields in the guidelines are editable fields
Comments field (last column) in FloodPhenomena_1980
Several fields in FloodPhenomena_19808edit
To add new events (1980 and more recent only):
Empty sheet available in Eionet folder 6<br>
07
Country consultation Open until 25 March 2015
Organsied per country, in parallel to CIS WFD-FD WG-F and Eionet Water quantity (and NFP)
Request for one coordinated answer per country
Questions: Wouter.Vanneuville@eea.europa.eu AND Luka.Snoj@tcvode.si 7<br>
08
Flood overview data (CC_Overview_1980) No editing
Only available for those countries where PFRA past floods reporting is available
Not part of final product 8<br>
09
Flood event data reported under FD (FloodEvent_1980) 9 No editing
Only available for those countries where PFRA past floods reporting is available
Not part of final product!<br>
10
FloodPhenomena_1980 10 editable<br>
11
FloodPhenomena_1980 For all countries (except Malta and Liechtenstein)
Grouping of flood events into flood phenomena (for EMDAT and DFO each record in database is one flood phenomenon)
“mixed records”: FD data completed with 1) EMDAT 2) DFO, e.g. fatalities of economic impact 11<br>
12
FloodPhenomena_1980_edit Main table to look at and to edit
For countries with many records, please focus on those with ‘Frequency = very rare’
All fields in the table contain a short explanation, for details: check the guidelines 12<br>
13
Next steps Compilation of all information into 1 masterDB
Availability: only aggregated information in last 2 sheets
Use: see also FD Concept paper: https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/2f5701e4-e410-4c5a-b529-2b3be682b40d/Concept_paper_floods_reporting_final_cov.pdf 13<br>
14
Examples (!) of use CLIM016 on floods (climate change indicator)
Past trends, now map to be replaced by graph
reporting bias reduction by selecting only exceptional events
based on this EFID database, DFO as back-up 14<br>
15
Examples (!) of use (2) CLIM039 on the impact of climate and weather related hazards
Economic data from EFID most probably not detailed enough
Box on floods
Environmental indicator report series about the progress of the 7th EAP
Floods data and information one of the probable topics for 2016
See also study on Greening the EU semester 15<br>
16
Examples (!) of use (3) To support (as an example of good practice) the hazard and disaster data collection by JRC-IPSC
Avoid conflicting guidelines for recording disaster loss data 16<br>
17
Thanks for your cooperation!!! We got from several MSs the feedback that they are working on a coordinated answer.
