In principle, the responsibility for flood protection lies with the municipalities, which are responsible for the affairs of the local community, urban land use planning and hazard prevention.
River basin-related, conceptual planning in flood protection as the basis of a functional service of general interest is carried out by the state. In addition, the state supports the municipalities in their projects by providing existing planning data.
Further information on the current water levels and precipitation can be found on the website of the Hessian State Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology under Floods / Flood Areas
If you have any questions about flood protection and self-precaution, please contact the municipality and the local fire department.
