    Flood Warnings at the Local Level: Tools and Experiences in Their Implementation
    (Informatics for Environmental Protection - Networking Environmental Information, 2005) Madej, Pawel; Koniecny, Roman; Kruszewski, Aleksander; Partyka, Danuta
    In recent years, we are observing a change in approach to natural disasters, including floods. It consists of a departure from actions focusing on protection from hazards, in the direction of actions focusing on risk management and on the behavior of inhabitants and crisis intervention forces in hazard situations. These changes mean that flood warning systems are becoming a tool more important than before in flood damage mitigation; their main aim should be to enable citizens to take effective action. In this article, we present experiences from the building of a local warning system in the Klodzko Valley, an area located in southwestern Poland, which is at risk for flash flooding.

    Map-based Internet Information Services – Examples of GIS Utilization in Off-line Mode
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Madej, Pawel
    This paper presents two examples of Internet information services based on a map. The first design is a meta-database concerning the nation-wide measurement network in the area of hydrology and meteorology. The second example is oriented toward assistance of local specialists responsible for operational activities in flood protection. The web sites content were generated in large measure automatically on the basis of data from the information layers of the GIS database.
