Heavy rain information

Heavy rainfall events pose an enormous challenge because they are characterized by extremely short warning times. They put strain on the drainage system, lead to flooding of ditches and waterways, and can even trigger landslides. Due to the high variability of precipitation distribution, all districts of a city can potentially be affected by heavy rainfall.

To counteract this problem, it is very important to take appropriate preventive measures to minimize the risk to people and property. Protecting buildings from water ingress plays a particularly crucial role in this regard. Information has therefore been compiled specifically on this topic.
