  1. European Early Warning Systems for Floods and Droughts -How could Romania benefit?Dr. Ad De RooEuropean Commission, DG Joint Research CentreInstitute for Environment and Sustainability Land Management and Natural Hazards Unit Weather Driven Natural Hazard Action JRC Information Day - Romania JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  2. What can be done to prevent flood losses? • Forest Fires • Floods • Droughts • Storms Risk maps Preparedness Awareness Scenario studies Land use change Climate change Before Forecasting Early warning Prevention After EFFIS Structural funds EDAS Damage assessment EFAS Damage estimates EU Solidarity Funds JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  3. European Flood Alert System (EFAS) Objective: 3-10 daysearly warning for floods  More time to prepare for a crisis! Complementing Member States’ activities (NIHWM Romania) • forecasting for entire river basins • flood probabilities > 3-10 days • information exchange platform • harmonized overview: crisis aid JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  4. Romania: NIHW EFAS: from research to operation • Pilot study (EFFS; 2000-2003) • Identify customer needs (2003) • Prototype development • Testing (with NHS) • Transfer of operational system to MS (2010) JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  5. Forecast products Input data Model system LISFLOOD (JRC) Feedback – Improvement Impact assessement RO: now! EFAS – how does it work? Agreed partners JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  6. EFAS USER INTERFACE – Exploring EFAS results in different ways JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  7. EFAS user interface: Overview maps – summarising flood threshold exceedance spatially probabilistic deterministic JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  8. EFAS user interface: Point information JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  9. EFAS: SIMPLIFYING INFORMATION JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  10. EFAS: looking back in time - persistency JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  12. European Flood Alert System:Example of a successful flood alert 30 July 2004 Rainfall forecasted CZ SK Flood problems forecasted A HU RU Black Sea Low flood risk Medium flood risk High flood risk Extreme flood risk Alert send on 30 July; Floods confirmed by NIHWM on 3-4 August Adriatic Sea BG Siret, Romania JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania

  13. EFAS results in 2003-6 Early Flood Alert Reports to partners (Danube) Aug 2003 Siret (RO) Aug 2004 Siret (RO) Jul 2005 Danube (SK, HU) Aug 2005 Rhine and Danube (HU, DE, AT) Sep 2005 Po (It), Danube (2BG, RO) Mar/Apr 2006 70 alert reports to Elbe+Danube (*) 2005: 9 out of 10 events were correctly forecasted more than 3 days in advance! * (2006 floods: EFAS agreement with RO not signed yet) JRC information day, 11 May 2006, Romania
