Development of a dedicated sub-system based on remote sensing and GIS technology to improve flood management and mitigate flood effects in the Romanian – Hungarian transboundary test-area.

  This sub-system will allow the storage, management and exchange of raster and vector graphic Information, and also of related attribute data for the flood monitoring activities. This dedicated Information sub-system will contribute to regional quantitative risk assessment (using flood hazard and vulnerability characteristics) for monitoring and hydrological validating risk simulations. Another important result will be the preventive consideration of flood events when determining land development and in special planning of the flood-prone areas.
