Short summary
Flood hazard maps are crucial for flood risk management. Since flood hazard is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, many different maps could be relevant. Having a large number of maps to take into account does not, however, make planning easier. To support flood risk management planning we therefore introduce a new approach in which all relevant flood hazard parameters can be combined into two comprehensive maps of flood damage hazard and flood fatality hazard.
