Quick Guide: Dealing with river floods

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cities across Europe are facing increasing threats from natural hazards—floods, heatwaves, storms, and wildfires. But adaptation starts with understanding. This series of Quick Guides provides local and regional authorities with clear, actionable insights on how to prepare, respond, and build resilience. Designed to be practical and accessible, each guide focuses on a specific hazard, breaking down complex challenges into concise, engaging formats. Infographics, checklists, case studies, and key resources make these guides more than just reports—they are tools for action. The Quick Guide: Dealing with river floods offers EU-wide knowledge for local and regional authorities, with key facts, recent events, key impacts for communities, and how to take actions. This includes understanding flood risk data (such as data, maps, and tools), find funding opportunities, and exploring examples for implementation. This content was prepared by the projects REGILIENCE, IMPETUS, TransformAr, and ARSINOE with the support of the EU Mission on Adaptation.
