The aim of this paper is to determine and classify flood risk mitigation measures in hierarchical order. The main focus is to cover all type of measures that needs to be performed in order to decrease urban flood risks. The determination and classification of flood risk mitigation measures facilitate the selection of the most effective ones in the relevant area.
