High-impact floods and flash floods in Mediterranean countries: the FLASH preliminary database
This paper contains a preliminary analysis of flood risk in Mediterranean countries, conducted within the framework of the FLASH European Project. All flood events recorded between 1990 and 2006 in the Mediterranean region have been included in the study. Results of previous international projects (...

| description | This paper contains a preliminary analysis of flood risk in Mediterranean
countries, conducted within the framework of the FLASH European Project. All
flood events recorded between 1990 and 2006 in the Mediterranean region have
been included in the study. Results of previous international projects
(STORM, SPHERE, AMPHORE, RINAMED and MEDEX), as well as information provided
by FLASH Project partners and data included in scientific papers were the
main source used in building this database. All the above information had
been dispersed in various places, and an attempt was made here to create,
for the first time, a verified and complete single database for the entire
Mediterranean region. The work analyses the spatial and temporal
distribution of flood events, as well as their social impact, with special
attention to certain case studies that have been analysed in detail. |
