Flood Information Service

Flooding can cause enormous financial losses and put lives at risk. Early warning can significantly reduce flood damage and the associated risks.

The Flood Information Service uses rainfall and discharge measurements to produce forecasts and warnings, which are relayed to the relevant authorities and emergency services, and the public and the media are kept informed. Rainfall reports and water levels are collected and analysed by the water management authorities. The warnings are relayed to the local authorities via the district offices and independent towns. The local authorities inform the affected residents and take the necessary protective measures. Members of the public can contact their local authority for information on the local situation.

A regional flood situation report is

  • at the State Office for the Environment by telephone: 089/ 9214-1588
  • in the teletext service of Bayerischer Rundfunk about Tafel 647 and
  • on the internet at www.hnd.bayern.de

available.

The website provides further information on water levels and links to other sources of information, such as the German Weather Service.
