Abstract

Flood disasters repeatedly pose a threat for the population of Austria. Especially in the last
few years, flood events have increasingly challenged disaster control organizations. Civil
engineers and disaster control organizations share many tasks in preventing and handling
disaster situations, which necessitates close collaboration between both groups. This article
describes the different approaches of handling a flood event according to the different points
of view of both disciplines. The potential to further strengthen the cooperation between
disaster control organization and civil engineers is demonstrated by using the specific
example an examination.
