Guidelines for updating a European database for flood phenomena data Consultation on a European Flood Impact Database CIS WFD-FD WG Floods 10/03/2015, Brussels Wouter Vanneuville European Environment Agency 1
History See presentation WG-F 14: https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/fd482ad e-c055-404a-9825- d5b429cbd015/12.a%20EEA%20Europe an%20Flood%20Impact%20Database.p ptx WG-F 16: remained open issue in the list of Thematic Workshop consolidated outcomes European Environment Agency 2
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 European Environment Agency 3
Flood phenomena Flood phenomenon is understood as distinct hydrological situation which can occur on several, spatially separated locations within one or many river basins European Environment Agency 4
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) European Environment Agency 5
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 European Environment Agency 6
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 European Environment Agency 7
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 European Environment Agency 8
Flood event data reported under FD (FloodEvent_1980) No editing Only available for those countries where PFRA past floods reporting is available Not part of final product! European Environment Agency 9
FloodPhenomena_1980 editable European Environment Agency 10
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 European Environment Agency 11
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 European Environment Agency 12
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/2f5701e 4-e410-4c5a-b529- 2b3be682b40d/Concept_paper_floods_r eporting_final_cov.pdf European Environment Agency 13
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 European Environment Agency 14
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 European Environment Agency 15
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 European Environment Agency 16
Thanks for your cooperation!!! We got from several MSs the feedback that they are working on a coordinated answer. Questions? Don t forget to email to Wouter.vanneuville@eea.europa.eu AND luka.snoj@tcvode.si European Environment Agency 17
