River floods are considered one of the most important natural disasters in Europe as well as worldwide. It has now been widely accepted that the frequency and magnitude of river floods may increase because of climate change. Nevertheless, it can be complex, targeted measures to reduce their range and at least partially reduce the adverse effects. Floods do not respect boundaries, by the national, regional or institutional. Therefore, trans-boundary flood risk management is imperative – it involves governments – as borders are involved – and their people – as risk is involved. However, it is not easy to implement: joint monitoring, forecasting and early warning, coordinated risk assessment and joint planning of measures, and appropriate legal and institutional frameworks are all necessary. To support the transition from traditional flood defence strategies to a flood risk management approach at the basin scale in Europe, the EU has adopted Directive (2007/60/ES). The paper deals with overview about flood risk, flood risk assessment and basic principles of flood risk management.
