From meteorology to warnings • Relationship between: • meteorological thresholds (valid locally) • Europe wide valid criteria (meteorologically) • extent of typical damage • advice for behaviour (sociocultural and administrative realities)
1.1 Decision team for „red“ (flood) • Senior forecaster (teamleader) • Hydrologist • Board of institution • Expert on climate conditions • Media expert • Civil protection
