Reitsma, R. (author)De TMO heeft besloten om zo snel mogelijk na de oefening een First Impression Report (FIR) op te stellen. De TMO legt daarin de eerste bevindingen (impressies) van de oefening vast. Hierin wordt een opsomming gegeven van de verzamelde indrukken van zowel de spelers (nationaal en regionaal) als de oefenorganisatie. Uiteraard zullen deze indrukken...report 2009

Visee, H. (author)Dit deelrapport maakt deel uit van het Rapport van bevindingen van de Taskforce Management Overstromingen (TMO). De opdracht aan TMO omvat acht onderdelen. Dit deelrapport is het antwoord op één van die opdrachten: het doen opstellen van een nazorgstrategie. Tijdens de uitvoering van de opdracht is het begrip nazorg ingeruild voor nafase omdat...report 2009

Kind, J. (author)In de wet staan normen voor de bescherming van grote delen van Nederland tegen overstromingen. Deze normen zijn gebaseerd op omstandigheden en berekeningen uit de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw. Sinds die tijd zijn de mogelijke gevolgen van een overstroming fors toegenomen: de economische waarde achter de dijken is gestegen en de bevolking is...report 2008

Sanchez-Arcilla, A. (author)This Deliverable presents a summary of results obtained in Task 2: Estimation of Extremes of the EU (Framework Program 6) FLOODsite project. The report deals with the estimation of extremes for risk assessment in fluvial, coastal and estuarine environments. The approach, techniques and conclusions are, however, general enough to be of...report 2008

Eijgenraam, C.J.J. (author)Doel van de notitie is het formuleren van een algemeen toepasbare toetsnorm voor waterveiligheid op basis van kosten-batenanalyse (KBA).1 Deze nieuwe norm moet zoveel mogelijk dezelfde strekking hebben als de huidige wettelijke toetsnorm om waterkeringen goed of af te keuren. Zo kan de hoogte van de huidige normen met behulp van dit nieuwe...report 2008

Berne, A. (author)The hydrological response of catchments is influenced by the lanscape characteristics. Both channel networks and hillslopes play a major role in the propagation of water within catchments, and therefore influence the generation of floods. In mountainous regions, the importance of subsurface flows has been recognized for a long time (e.g. Dunne...report 2007

Sandrine, A. (author)Flash floods result from the concatenation of meteorological and hydrological conditions. Recognition of the coupled meteorological/hydrological nature of flash floods is now evident in interpretative studies and in the development of predictive models. Therefore, the work performed within Task 1 aims at improving our understanding of the...report 2007

Meyer, V. (author)This Report is the first deliverable of task 9, called D9.1. It summarises both, the outcome of a literature survey on flood damage evaluation methods in selected EU countries (action 1 in activity 1) and the major results of complementary expert interviews (action 2 in activity 1). The overall objective of actions 1 and 2 in activity 1 of task...report 2007

Sandrine, A. (author)In the first section we define the problem of flash-flood forecasting and we list the main scientific issues that need to be addressed. In the second section we briefly describe the previous European programmes devoted to flash flood. The dispersion of the efforts within programmes that were not only concerned by flash flood lead to the...report 2006

Messner, F. (author)The current state-of-the-art in flood damage analysis mainly focuses on the economic evaluation of tangible flood effects. It is contended in this discussion paper that important economic, social and ecological aspects of flood-related vulnerabilities are neglected. It is a challenge for flood research to develop a wider perspective for flood...report 2006

Hawkes, P.J.; Svensson, C. (author)This report begins with an Introductory Users' Guide to Joint probability Analysis. The report describes methods for joint probability analysis of variable-pairs relevant to flood risk in the UK. Two methods are described in sufficient detail for actual use, a desk study method for rapid non-specialist use, and a rigorous analytical method for...report 2006

Hawkes, P.J.; Svensson, C. (author)A number of methods of joint probability analysis are set out and contrasted. The methods are applied to the dependence between a number of variable-pairs relevant to flood risk in the UK, for example wave heights and sea levels for coastal flood risk, and river flow and sea level for river flood risk. The dependence results are mapped around...report 2006

Nuissier, O.; Ducrocq, V.; Sandrine, A. (author)Within the framework of FLOODsite, specific attention is dedicated to improve our understanding of flash flood. Flash floods differ markedly from floods occurring on larger basins with larger time characteristics. Flash floods are produced by rain accumulations of typically more than 200 mm during less than 6 hours over natural watersheds...report 2006

Eijgenraam, C.J.J.

Van Westen, C.J. (author)The purpose of the Floris Project The government considers it important that the public has a better understanding of the probability of their area being hit by a flood. The government also wants to have a clear view of the relatively weaker areas in flood protection. Other experts have, moreover, indicated that the protection against flooding...report 2005
