Cover Story: The recent flooding events have alerted many municipalities across Europe and especially in Germany; the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and Rhineland-Palatinate have formulated more extensive requirements for municipalities to be able to reduce impacts and risks. In 2021, the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) in Germany made available, for the first time, a state-wide, cross-municipal heavy rainfall map, in which heavy rainfall and flood risks are recognizable for every citizen. This paper provides an example of how 80 municipalities had the possibility to benefit from these essential resources and required practical advice on how to utilise and classify the information available from the shared maps regarding drainage consequences and flood risks.
