23. Apr 2026


The flood app for homes has been expanded and improved. New features such as an interactive guide, a revised questionnaire, personalized tips, and a clearly structured FAQ help citizens assess their own homes more specifically for potential risks from heavy rainfall and flooding.

The flood app for homes is now available in a revised and improved version. As part of the relaunch, several new features have been added to make the app easier to use and to improve the individual assessment of risks affecting one’s own property.

An interactive guide makes it easier to get started and supports users in navigating the map application. In addition, a new questionnaire allows for a more precise assessment of one’s own home. The app is further enhanced by personalized tips that provide users with targeted advice on precautionary measures they can take themselves. Frequently asked questions can also now be answered more quickly: a clearly structured FAQ offers short and easy-to-understand answers.

The flood app for North Rhine-Westphalia helps citizens better assess the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding affecting their homes and encourages them to engage with suitable protective measures at an early stage. The service is part of the broader effort to strengthen individual flood preparedness in NRW.
