Abstract: The costs for emergency services are substantial and important for the choice of risk management strategies -but largely underresearched.This paper presents the main results of a study into the drivers and patters of emergency services during the 2005 flooding of the alpine province of Tyrol in Austria and compares it to the existing literature.It also briefly discusses simplified rules for the accounting of the cost of emergency services as a share of the total damages and standard cost benefit analysis for flood defence.
