The EFAS portal has been recently revamped and modernised. We would encourage all EFAS users to test the new web portal and come with feedback through the web site http://new-efas-test.efas.eu.

The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) is the first operational European system monitoring and forecasting floods across Europe. It provides complementary, flood early warning information up to 10 days in advance to its partners: the National/Regional Hydrological Services and the European Response and Coordination Centre (ERCC).
