Flood hazards and risk maps

The maps show areas of potential significant flood risk, the inundation areas caused by floods with a high, medium and low probability and associated process intensities like water depth and flow velocities, as well as the risk maps that visualise the impacts on different assets.

Natural hazards

The HORA (Natural Hazard Overview and Risk Assessment Austria) representations on maps serve as first information and current weather warnings on potential dangers due to various national hazards. It enables each individual citizen to quickly and easily present an initial assessment of his or her personal risk situation at the click of a mouse. A total of eight natural hazards (floods / avalanches / earthquakes / slides / storm/ lightning / hail/ snow) can be displayed in this way.
