Flood / Flood Protection
Description
In principle, the responsibility for flood protection lies with the municipalities, which are responsible for the affairs of the local community, urban land use planning and hazard prevention.
River basin-related, conceptual planning in flood protection as the basis of a functional service of general interest is carried out by the state. In addition, the state supports the municipalities in their projects by providing existing planning data.
