Abstract
In this paper we present a method for creating a strong rain danger map for Cyprus which is based only on terrain information without the need of meteorological and surface type data. The map is a combination of two methods developed at DLR over the past years for prediction of flood dangers from local strong rain events and for dangers from flash floods originating from strong rain events in upstream regions. Beside the explanation of the methods the results are presented and cross-checked with a flood event from 2003 of the Pedaios River south of Nicosia.
