The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) is part of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (Copernicus EMS). It provides complementary, flood early warning information to its partners, the National/Regional Hydrological Services and the European Response and Coordination Centre (ERCC). EFAS holds a large-variety of regularly updated flood forecast information ranging from gridded hydro-meteorological variables, modelled soil moisture, runoff and snow data, to a wide-range of flood-related information such as probabilistic medium-range flood forecasts (including short-range flash floods), seasonal forecasts, impact assessments and early warnings. Real-time forecast information is available to EFAS partners only. Archived EFAS information is publicly available.
Real-time data and services are accessible to EFAS partners only on the EFAS web interface and can be downloaded via an SOS and WMS-T service and from a data archive (foreseen development). Archived data is available publicly.
