“…The local topography particularly adjusts the precipitation in the region. The highest mean annual precipitation value of 2000 mm recorded in the northern Black Forest, which is located in the mountainous part of the basin [44,45]. Towards the eastern part of the study area, the mean annual precipitation slim down to around 800-1000 mm [46].…”

Flood protection is crucial for making socioeconomic policies due to the high losses of extreme floods. So far, the synchronous occurrences of flood events have not been deeply investigated. In this paper, multivariate analysis was implemented to reveal the interconnection between these floods in spatiotemporal resolution. The discharge measurements of 46 gauges with a continuous daily time series for 55 years were taken over the Neckar catchment. Initially, the simultaneous floods were identified. The Kendall correlation between the pair sets of peaks was determined to scrutinize the similarities between the simultaneous events. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering tree (AHCT) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) were employed, and obtained clusters were compared and evaluated with the Silhouette verification method. AHCT shows that the Average and Ward algorithms are appropriate to detect reasonable clusters. The Neckar catchment has been divided into three major clusters: the first cluster mainly covers the western part and is bounded by the Black Forest and Swabian Alps. The second cluster is mostly located in the eastern part of the upper Neckar. The third cluster contains the remaining lowland areas of the Neckar basin. The results illustrate that the clusters act relatively as a function of topography, geology, and anthropogenic alterations of the catchment.

“…Emergencies and disasters caused by nature and humanity do not recognize country borders and create international problems (see e.g. [1] and [2], and references therein). These include flooding, forest fires, and industrial accidents, to name a few.…”

“…The Emergency and Disaster Management hence needs cross border solutions, in order to facilitate communication, resource management and offer solutions to emergencies. This is one of the main motivations for the C2-SENSE 1 Framework, where the knowledge, capabilities and experience from a consortium of several European partners 2 is implemented. Due to such a partnership, a specific approach in the framework development is needed, explored and implemented.…”

Part 6: Requirements, Software Engineering and Software ToolsInternational audienceThis paper describes the requirements engineering methodology used for the definition of semantic sensors in a Crisis and Disaster Management framework. The goal of the framework is effective management of emergencies which depends on timely information availability, reliability and intelligibility. To achieve this, different Command and Control (C2) Systems and Sensor Systems have to cooperate and interoperate. Unless standards and well-defined specifications are used, however, the interoperability of these systems can be very complex. To address this challenge, in the C2-SENSE project, a “profiling” approach will be used to achieve seamless interoperability by addressing all the layers of the communication stack in the security field. The main objective is to develop a profile based Emergency Interoperability framework by the use of existing standards and semantically enriched Web services to expose the functionalities of C2 Systems, Sensor Systems and other Emergency and Crisis Management systems. We introduce the concepts of Semantic Sensors, describe the characteristics of Sensor Systems in Emergency Management, and the methodology of requirements engineering for such a framework
