Abstract

In recent years, flood and flood-related disaster management has shifted from protection against flood to managing the risks of floods. In Europe, this shift is reflected in the Flood Risk Directive of October 2007 (2007/60/EC; FRD) (Quevauviller et al. 2009). The FRD requires EU Member States to undertake a preliminary assessment of flood risks and, for areas with a significant flood risk to prepare flood hazard and flood risk maps and flood risk management plans. In this framework, the chain of forecasting, warning and response systems is becoming an integral part of integrated risk management. Forecasting and warning are particularly interesting as risk management options for flash flood events and attendant geomorphic response like debris flows, which occupy a central position in this chapter.
