FLOOD COMPETENCE CENTER
The network for holistic flood prevention and flood risk management
The Flood Competence Center (HKC) is a non-profit association from Germany that connects flood-affected citizens and stakeholders in flood risk management to build a unique network. The HKC was founded in 2007 and consists of almost 200 members and cooperations. The members of the HKC are composed of national and international institutions and municipalities, citizens and policy-makers, science and economy.
The HKC brings together science and practice for the purpose of holistic flood risk management, promoting sustainable development and the provision and transfer of expertise.
Use the knowledge of our network for your projects. We are glad to support you. Week look forward to welcoming you.
