HANZE modelled events catalogue contains locations, dates and impacts of almost 15,000 potential floods that might have occurred in 42 European countries between 1950 and 2020. It was generated by extensive riverine and coastal flood modelling driven by downscaled climate reanalysis. Through research of documentary sources and linking with gauge observations, each event is assigned to one of six classes that indicate the relation between the floods’ potential outcomes and their actual, historical impacts. Events that caused significant socioeconomic impacts are linked with the HANZE-Events database, either with reported impact data (List A) or without such information (list B). The documentary sources used can be viewed in the list of references (view). Using a standardized classification of subnational units based on the NUTS system, all events can easily be connected with socioeconomic exposure data in HANZE (view) or other NUTS-based statistical data.

On this webpage, the main variables of HANZE-Events can be viewed, filtered and sorted in an interactive table below. Every event includes a link to a subpage, where all available data pertaining to the event can be viewed, together a map presenting the location of impacted regions. Events classified as having significant socioeconomic impacts have links to relevant historical floods in the HANZE-Events impact database.
