Pre- foresight The Metropolitan Region of Hamburg (MRH) is directly connected to the North Sea and close to the Baltic Sea (see figure 1). It has about 4.3 million inhabitants and consists of the City of Hamburg with 1.7 million inhabitants and 14 counties in the north and the south of Hamburg.
A specific condition is the complex administrative structure: the MRH covers three federal states (Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein), but while the whole of Hamburg is included Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein do only partially belong to region, with their capitals Hannover and Kiel outside the MRH. The contribution of the Hamburg project partner in the BaltCICA project focuses on two main aspects: a) the analysis of climate adaptation process-related governance (instrumental and procedural dimension) and b) the development of concrete adaptation measures facing the consequences of climate change (physical dimension). 2. 3. 4. 5.

Historical floods - Hamburg - 12 November 2010 Storm and flooding - Hamburg 1962 The 1962 floods in Northern Germany were a natural disaster that resulted in a lot of damage and 340 deaths. On the night of 16-17 February, a storm with wind speeds up to 200 km/hr swept across the North Sea. The resulting storm surge, in combination with increased river discharges from heavy rains, led to a water level rise of more than 3 meters and breach of the flood defences along the rivers Elbe and Weser. The total damage amounted to € 350 million. In the city of Bremen, flood defences were damaged, but to a lesser extent and due to early warnings and timely evacuations, only 7 people died.
In both cities, some areas were declared unfit for habitation, based on the flood risks.
