Quantitative information on the impacts of flooding, being it fatalities, affected people or (direct) economic damages is much more difficult to have available on a European scale. Not to speak about impacts on cultural heritage or the environment, where the reporting for the PFRA (EU 2007, Art. 4) showed large gaps across Europe. Further development of the database on past floods (EFID), filling gaps and enhancing homogeneity of data by additional guidance on definitions and reporting, will promote the use and increase usability of the data.
