The directive 2007/60/EG on the assessment and the management of flood risk aims at triggering the transition from technical flood protection to flood risk management in the Member States of the European Union. Primarily, the creation of flood hazard and flood risk maps follows the objective of establishing a consistent representation of flood hazards and risks as a decision support for member states and a tool to raise awareness amongst citizens in terms of individual flood exposure. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the Floods directive defines a frame for elaborating maps and refers to some specific requirements on parameters to be visualised. As different end-users have different needs and expectations referring to map contents and map design as well as how these different needs can be taken into account during the creation of maps, recommendations for a better understanding of these maps are given.
