Flood hazard refers to the height in meters of sudden or non normally present appearing water. Flood hazard, in contrast to other natural disasters, is provided with the potential occurrence height (severity) for different return periods (10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 years) instead of probabilities of exceeding a threshold. This data layer is a result of processing and aggregating the data sources:
