 This paper provides a comprehensive overview of flooding in the Mediterranean region from 1990 to 2006. It includes data from multiple sources such as the storm, Sphere, Am4, Rynamed, and Medics projects, as well as scientific papers and data provided by Flash project partners. The authors then created a single database containing all available data on floods in the region. They analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of flood events, as well as their social impact, focusing on several case studies. This article was authored by M. C. Lasset, M. Lasset-Botija, M.
