An approach to the implementation of European Directive 2007/60/EC on flood risk management in the Czech Republic

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present flood risk analysis procedures and specially developed techniques for the assembly of flood hazard, danger and flood risk maps. Methods related to flood risk management plans are briefly mentioned as well. The following particular problems are discussed in more detail: an application and extension of the "danger matrix" approach, the definition of residual danger, the formulation of efficiency criteria and preliminary multi-criteria flood risk assessment. These issues were te… Show more

“…Although some studies on flood risk in the Czech Republic exist (e.g. Rodda, ; de Moel et al ., ; Dráb and Říha, ), little work has been done for the Czech Republic regarding individual, household, and community measures for, and perceptions of, flood risk. This paper makes a contribution to filling in this lacuna in the literature by analysing evidence from household interviews regarding experiences with, perceptions of, and measures taken for river flood risk.…”

“…This can involve different management strategies and overlapping of jurisdiction, as well as to inconsistencies in the terminology used [28]. According to Birkmann and Von Teichman [29], when climate change scenarios and extreme events are considered, the norms for adaptation and resilience of CI should be defined and improved.…”

“…When employing the concepts of hazard, exposure and vulnerability as components of flood risk (Gouldby and Samuels, 2005;Drab and Riha, 2010), the contributing factors influencing the amount of loss of life during floods can be related to these components.…”

“…Procedures based on the theory of risk management appear to be very effective for this purpose. Most of the existing flood risk studies in central Europe still focus on material losses and economic risk (Drab and Riha, 2010). One of the important risks which should be taken into account is loss of human lives.…”
