2,5 million people in close to 700 communities are exposed to flood hazard
the floodplains contain 32% of the railway lines and 15% of the roads over 2000 industries have settled here about 25% of the gross domestic product is produced

Functions and hierarchic relations in flood emergency Functions and hierarchic relations in flood emergency control control
The main agencies involved in implementing emergency measures on the state-owned inundation
control structures and their functions are –
the Central Flood Fighting Organization and the WaterResources Research Centre (VITUKI) - National Hydrological Forecasting Service – national level special functions
the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Water Management, the National Water Authority – national level organization and control;
the twelve district water authorities and the Municipality Budapest – local organization, guidance and actual implementation of flood emergency measures;

The Flood Management Information System FMIS objectives
extending the lead time for preparing emergency measures; providing information processed, analysed, assembled, compared and presented at the highest possible level for decision making on alternative emergency measures in a particular emergency situation.
4th International Conference
Hydro Informatics 2000
FMIS functions
ensuring information flow to and from emergency control levels above and below the particular agency via the channels of communication;
supporting the emergency control activities at the particular agency on a local area network;

The important principes of the FMIS
flood fighting depends for its effectiveness on a wealth of information - the techniques of information gathering and processing, the methods of situation assessment has to be uniform throughout the service.
information flow between the various interrelated levels of control must be coordinated,

Hydro Informatics 2000
overlapping data communication has to be eliminated.
the reports have to be standardized
The professional tasks to guide flood fighting
collection, recording, processing and forwarding information; situation analysis, assessment, decision preparation;
decision making on flood fighting measures;
organisation, guidance of flood fighting activities, supervision of their implementation;
preparation and forwarding reports and information;
documenting these activities.

FMIS in use
The first applications were started in the first half of 1994 between the centers of 17 institutions directly involved in flood emergency control.
Regular, routine FMIS applications have been continuous since July 1, 1994.
Over the past five years several hundred thousand electronic mails were exchanged between the co-operating partners with a high level of availability and reliability
1998, 99, 2000 for 18 months – 3 extremes flood in Hungary - the FMIS worked without problems
