The Global Flood Partnership is leading the way in producing a global flood record to collate and catalogue records of floods to a consistent and coherent standard.

While it is unlikely that the needs of every user can be met, we invite potential users of the flood record to have a say in how they would prefer information on floods to be recorded. In particular, decisions need to be made as to how to produce a unique Flood Identification Number to enable different datasets to be easily linked.

This survey will inform the minimum size of flood to be recorded and the spatial and temporal scales for characterising flood events. Your participation in this survey indicates that you are happy for your response to be collated and the results of this survey to be made public or published.
