SPI and the floods WG - Onema

Cagliari recommendations (1)
• The specific time-scale features requires effective methodologies and tools to
share experiences and methods among different communities and
organisation.
• Flash flood and pluvial flood timing and durations reduce possibilities of
intervention for risk reducing/mitigating and require new approaches in
hazard assessment techniques;
• Implementation of flood warning systems and community self-help
programs is therefore one of the most effective ways to manage the
flash flood risk.
• A multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinal approach is therefore required to
address in an integral way flash floods and pluvial floods risk
management.
• There is a need to focus research on rainfall estimation, nowcasting and
forecasting in order to increase the efficiency of the systems devoted to
monitor flash flood generating storms
