 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, M4, Rhynamed, and Medex projects, as well as information provided by flash project partners and data included in scientific papers. The authors created a single database containing all available data on floods in the Mediterranean region, which allowed them to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of flood events, as well as their social impact. They also analyzed several case studies in greater depth. This article was authored by M. C. Lasset, M. Lasset-Botija, M. A. Pratt and others.
