Flood mapping

Description

MSB has the government's mission to provide the country's municipalities and county administrative boards with an overview of areas that can be flooded along the country's lakes and watercourses. The purpose of the flood maps is, among other things, to be a planning basis for the municipalities' general spatial planning and as a basis for the work with the municipal action programmes. The surveys can also be a support in the emergency services' overall planning of operations. MSB's flood maps are continuously updated by improving hydraulic models and using new climate-adapted flow calculations for the end of the century. The updated flood maps show the extent of the water at 3 different flows, the estimated maximum flow and climate-adapted 100-year and 200-year flow for the end of the century. An event's return time means that it occurs or is exceeded on average once during this time. This means that the probability of, for example, a 100-year flow is 1 in 100 for each individual year. The probability that the flow will occur once during the 100-year period is 63 percent and the probability that it will occur twice during the same period is 40 percent.
