Abstract
This paper presents the lessons learnt from the severe floods occurred in South of France. A large number of scientists were involved in the review organized by the French Ministry in charge of environment. Data were collected and are available for future scientific works. The characteristics of the framework and the main results are presented and discussed in an integrated tool prospect.
