FLOODsite (task 19). The objective was to link knowledge and models from FLOODsite theme 1 (risk analysis) and theme 2 (risk management) in a Decision Support System (DSS) in support of flood event management planning and practice. The specific objectives were: 1. To obtain insight into the different types of decision support systems that have been made in the past or that are currently being used, and determine which of these DSSs would be most suitable for event management planning 2. To implement and test two outline DSSs The work was structured as follows: • A review was carried out on decision support systems in Europe, to get insight in previous experiences and learn about user requirements for flood event management • A methodological framework was extracted from this first activity, to be applied in the three pilots of the Thames, the Schelde and the Gard • For two pilots a prototype DSS was prepared based on this methodological framework, and tested among the end users. In the third pilot a two-dimensional approach to the preparation of flood event management plans was validated • General conclusions were drawn as well as pilot-specific conclusions and recommendations.
