Natural Hazards and FloodRisk II 11 Minimum River Morphological Space Demand Establishment of a minimal safety strip along the river which is 1 to 3 times the width of the river on each river bank with absolute construction ban 12 6

8 (BMLFUW, 2015) EU Floods Directive Hazard Maps: Flood extent, flow depths, flow velocities Risk Maps: Number of affected persons, economic activity, other useful information ( 15 EU Floods Directive Flood Risk Management Plan: 22 Measure Types EVENT M19: Catastrophe Plans PREPARATION AFTER-CARE M01: Hazard Zone Maps AWARENESS PREVENTION M16: Raising Public Awareness M07: Restoration of Floodplains PROTECTION M12: River Maintenance Works M09: Object Protection Measures 16 8

9 DREAM Danube River REsearch And Management 17 Conclusions Integrated flood risk management (IFRM) must focus on prevention before coping during and rebuilding after the flood event according to the risk circle. Non-structural (non-technical) measures like Floodplain Preservation / Restoration Minimum River Morphological Space Demand Spatially Variable Vegetation Management Catastrophe Management Plans, etc. will further gain in importance. Therefore, these measures should be integral part of the Flood Risk Management Plans according to the EU Floods Directive. 18 9
