What EU Floods Directive 2007/60/EC - Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment, Flood Hazard Maps and Flood Risk Management Plans requires

Directive 2007/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment and management of flood risks (the Floods Directive) establishes a framework for Member States to assess and manage flood risks aimed at reducing adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. The directive operates on a six-year cycle coordinated with the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC and proceeds in three stages. Article 4 requires Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) identifying Areas of Potential Significant Flood Risk (APSFR). Article 6 requires Flood Hazard Maps and Flood Risk Maps showing extent and consequences for low, medium and high probability scenarios. Article 7 requires Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) with measures addressing prevention, protection, preparedness and emergency response. Article 9 requires coordination with WFD River Basin Management Plans. The first cycle ran 2009-2015, the second 2016-2021, the third 2022-2027. Climate change is to be considered in subsequent cycles under Article 14(4).
