Quick guide: Dealing with river floods

This series of quick guides equips local and regional authorities with practical tools to enhance climate resilience. Each guide addresses a specific hazard, offering clear, actionable advice through infographics, checklists, case studies, and key resources-making complex challenges easier to understand and act upon.

It offers recommendations on how to take action, such as: 

• Understand your flood risks: data, maps and tools 

• Find out if your municipality is within a flood risk area by checking the European flood risk map viewers (based either on officially reported data or on a modelling exercise) and find more details in the official Flood Hazard and Risk Maps of your country/region.
