Structural Mitigation Measures Structural mitigation reduces the impact of hazards on people and buildings via engineering measures. Examples include designing infrastructure, such as electrical power and transportation systems, to withstand damage. Levees, dams, and channel diversions are all examples of structural flood mitigation. Structural mitigation projects can be very successful from a cost/benefit perspective. Argentina’s Flood Rehabilitation Project invested US$153 million in structural improvements that spared an estimated US$187 million (in 1993 dollars) in damages during the 1997 floods, generating a 35 percent return on investment to date (World Bank, 2000). However, structural mitigation projects have the potential to provide short-term protection at the cost of long-term problems. In areas in Vietnam, flood control systems have exacerbated rather than reduced the extent of flooding; sediment deposit in river channels has raised the height of river channels and strained dike systems. Now when floods occur, they tend to be of greater depth and more damaging than in the past (Benson, 1997b). Furthermore, structural mitigation projects have the potential to provide people with a false sense of security. The damages from the 1993 flooding of the Mississippi river in the United States were magnified because of misplaced confidence in structural mitigation measures that had encouraged development in high-risk areas (Mileti, 1999; Platt, 1999; Linnerooth-Bayer and others, 2000).
Non-structural Mitigation Measures Nonstructural mitigation measures are nonengineered activities that reduce the intensity of hazards or vulnerability to hazards. Examples of nonstructural mitigation measures include land use and management, zoning ordinances and building codes, public education and training, and reforestation in coastal, upstream, and mountain areas. Nonstructural measures can be encouraged by government and private industry incentives, such as preferential tax codes and deductibles, or adjusted insurance premiums that reward private loss-reducing measures. Nonstructural mitigation measures can be implemented by central authorities through legislating and enforcing building codes and zoning requirements, by NGOs initiating neighborhood loss-prevention programs, or by the private sector in providing incentives to take loss-reducing measures. Nonstructural mitigation measures are particularly appropriate for developing countries because they usually require fewer financial resources. A drawback to such measures, however, is that even when they exist, there is a tendency on the part of the private and public sectors not to enforce the regulations or standards on the books. The best practices in nonstructural mitigation are those that directly combine with development goals. An innovative model recently developed in the Grau region of Peru identifies hazards, assesses regional development objectives, and integrates a nonstructural approach to disaster mitigation into the overall development program. This “microzonation” approach focuses on land-use planning and infrastructure (Kuroiwa, 1991).

Flood Warning Systems •Lead time must be sufficient for protection measures - Reliable results achievable for bigger catchments with longer response time - For smaller catchments the combination with retention basins is recommended
•Protection Measures: Active Measures: - Mobile Flood Protection - (operable) retention basin - sand bags Passive Measures: - Evacuation of victims - Polders (pumping)
The effectiveness increases with the length of the lead time !!! BOKU Kongress - Wien, November 2001

Conclusions • Flood Warning Systems are important instruments of civil protection. • Short term measures are efficiently applicable if - online data , - efficient forecast models, - appropriate protection measures and - sufficient master plans are available. • Permanent protection level (dams, runoff capacity) varies within 30 and 100 years frequency. Additional warning systems decrease the remaining risk for big flood events. • Flood warning systems do not substitute the necessity of a reliable urban and rural planning system with adopted land utilisation due to hazards and risks. • Runoff forecasts can be used for other objectives (e.g. forecasts of hydro-electrical potential, river navigation, etc.)

Requirements for flood forecasting systems An operational real time flood forecasting system can be a complex system according to the actual needs of forecasting lead time and to the size and complexity of the system to be monitored and controlled. In order to analyse the actual requirements of a real time operational flood forecasting system one must consider all the following components: - a precipitation forecasting model (deterministic and/or stochastic); - a catchment model (deterministic and/or stochastic); - a flood routing model; - a flood plain model; - a Geographical Information System (GIS); - a geo-referenced Data Bank; - an Expert System shell.

Sources of Errors • Initial conditions (Observation errors, missing data …) • Parameterisation (lack of detailed process knowledge) • Mathematical Iterations (Nonlinearities, numerical solutions, …)
ECMWF enables deterministic and stochastic ensemble forecasts (model confidence).
Air Temperature Forecast Air temperature forecasting is relevant for snowmelt forecasting. In general air temperature is spatially interpolated by means of constant elevation gradients. Temperature is decreasing with increasing elevations e.g.
∆t ≅ 0.7 o C / 100m
Air temperature exhibits a certain range of persistence.

7.1.1 Wettervorhersagen / Sources of weather forecasts
7.1.1.1 Quellen Wettervorhersagen werden in Österreich von einer Anzahl staatlicher und privater Stellen erstellt und verbreitet. In diesem Bericht wird das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Prognosen des nationalen Wetterdienstes, der ZAMG, gelegt. Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geo-dynamik (ZAMG): Die ZAMG ist der natio-nale Wetterdienst Österreichs, der für Vorhersagen für die Allgemeinheit zuständig ist. Die Vorher-sagen der ZAMG werden daher in diesem Bericht noch genauer diskutiert. Die ZAMG betreibt ein umfangreiches Stationsnetz. Davon sind mehr als 130 Stationen online und melden im 10-Minuten-Abstand alle rele-van-ten meteorologischen Daten an die ZAMG - Zentrale in Wien. Die ZAMG ist der öster-reichische Vertreter beim ECMWF (s.u.) und besitzt die Infrastruktur zur Aufbereitung der ECMWF-Daten. Diese aufbereiteten Er-geb-nisse werden der ACG (s.u.) und dem Militär-wetterdienst sowie den Universitäts-instituten auf Basis von Kooperations-ab-kom-men zur Verfügung gestellt. Die ZAMG be-treibt im Rahmen einer internationalen Koope-ration (ALADIN LACE) ein eigenes meso-skaliges Vorhersagemodell, ALADIN Vienna. Online-Informationen sind für die Öffentlichkeit auf der Homepage der ZAMG (http://www.zamg.ac.at/) verfügbar. Zur Abrundung der Information werden auch die anderen möglichen Quellen für Wetter-vorhersagen in Österreich kurz beschrieben: – Flugwetterdienst der Austrocontrol GesmbH (ACG, ehem. Bundesamt für Zivilluftfahrt): Der Flugwetterdienst ist ein aus der Bundesverwaltung ausgeglie-derter, staatlicher Wetterdienst, dessen Zu-stän-digkeit aber auf die Zivilluftfahrt be-schränkt ist. Er arbeitet mit der ZAMG zusam-men, und es gibt eine Aufgaben-tei-lung in manchen Bereichen. Der Flug-wetter-dienst betreibt auch eigene Wetter-sta-tionen (METAR) sowie das Wetter-radar-Netz Österreichs (der praktische Betrieb und die Datenarchivierung wurden aller-dings an das Institut für Nachrichten-technik und Wellenausbreitung an der TU Graz ver-ge-ben). Einige online - Infor-ma-tio-nen wer-den der allgemeinen Öffentlich-keit unter http://www.austrocontrol.co.at/main.php zur Verfü-gung gestellt.
7.1.1
Militärwetterdienst: Der Wetterdienst des Bundesheeres betreut primär den militä-rischen Flugbetrieb.
–
Wetterredaktionen des ORF: Sowohl Radio als auch Fernsehen haben eine eige-ne Wetterredaktion in Wien. Teil-weise be-schäftigen auch die Landes-studios Mete-orologen für die Wetter-sendungen im Rah-men von "Bundesland heute". Die Wet-ter-redaktionen sind teils mit ausge-bildeten MeteorologInnen, teils mit Journa-listInnen besetzt; auch Studien-abbrecher-Innen sind dort tätig. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, auf der Basis der Prognosen und Vorhersageunterlagen (Wetterkarten, Wettermeldungen, Satel-li-ten-bilder, etc.) der ZAMG eine journalis-tisch aufbereitete Darstellung des gegen-wärtigen und zukünftig erwarteten Wetters für die Präsentation im Rundfunk, Fern-sehen und in ORF - online (http://wetter.orf.at) vorzubereiten, und diese zu präsentieren.
–
Private Wetterfirmen: In Österreich sind auch private Firmen tätig, die an Kunden (elektronische und Printmedien, sowie auch andere Nutzer ähnlich denen der ZAMG) Wetterinformationen einschließ-lich Vor-hersagen abgeben. In der Regel be-schäf-tigen sie auch MeteorologInnen. Ihre Daten-grundlagen unterscheiden sich von jener der ZAMG, und sie erstellen ihre Prog-nosen unabhängig von den staatlichen Wetter-diensten. Daher kön-nen diese auch von-einander abweichen. Der Sitz dieser Firmen kann im Inland, aber auch im Ausland liegen.
–
Medien: Wie bereits ausgeführt, lassen sich Privatmedien (Zeitungen, Privat-radios, OnlinePortale) von der ZAMG oder priva-ten Wetterfirmen Produkte (Wetter-meldun-gen und vorhersagen, Satelliten-bilder etc.) liefern, die sie dann – in der Regel ohne eigene Bearbeitung – veröffentlichen.
–
WorldWideWeb: Die Menge an meteo-rolo-gischer Information, die allen Interessierten im WWW zugänglich ist, ist kaum mehr überschaubar. http://www.meteorologie.at/oegmlinks.html findet sich eine Zusam-menstellung der wichtigsten Links für Österreich sowie von Linksammlungen im deutsch-sprachigen Bereich.
