Historical event documentation
Abstract
The project “Historical event documentation” deals with the collecting of historical data regarding flood and avalanche events. Historical events of the provinces of Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia are processed and integrated into a historical event database. Data sources are the hazard maps of the Austrian service for torrent and avalanche control and the chronicles of Fliri and Stiny. Field work is necessary to collect historical information from the hazard maps. The chronicle of Strele, a further data source, has to be adapted for the inclusion into the database as well. The result is a database of individual datasets satisfying at least the so called 3W standard (What, When, Where).
