Flooding can, also in Germany, cause damages amounting to billions. With the flood loss database, HOWAS 21, scientists from the GFZ, Germany’s national lab for geosciences have compiled a profound data basis from multiple sources for the research of flood damage. These data serve for a better understanding of the occurrence of flood damage and the assessment of the effectiveness of prevention measures.

HOWAS 21 ist der Name einer objekt-spezifischen Hochwasserschadensdatenbank für Deutschland für verschiedene Sektoren, die vom Deutschen GeoForschungsZentrum aufgebaut und betrieben wird. Schadensdaten aus verschiedenen Quellen wurden hierzu in ein einheitliches System integriert und erlauben nun einen zentralen Zugang über das Internet. Das System hat eine erste Testphase durch potentielle Nutzer erfolgreich absolviert und wird hinsichtlich der verschiedenen Anregungen zurzeit überarbeitet und ausgebaut.

On November 22, 2006, a meeting with experts from the DISFLOOD project and NaDiNe took place at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ). The participants discussed about ways of making results from the project available to the users. As a main result of the meeting, it has been decided that resulting components of a disaster information system developed in DISFLOOD will be provided via the NaDiNe platform.
