Dataset "Rainfall Associated with Flood Fatalities in the Euro-Mediterranean Region (1980–2020, FFEM-DB)"

The dataset ‘Rainfall Associated with Flood Fatalities in the Euro-Mediterranean Region (1980–2020)’ links rainfall extracted from the MSWEP database to flood fatalities recorded in FFEM-DB. The FFEM-DB provides detailed information on each fatality, including geographical locations. The dataset includes rolling maximum precipitation values for multiple durations (3h, 6h, 12h, 24h, and 48h) and daily rainfall (5-day window) at each FF location, allowing for a detailed assessment of rainfall intensity leading to fatal flood events. The data support the findings of the peer-reviewed article: Papagiannaki, K., Kotroni, V., Lagouvardos, K., Diakakis, M. &amp; Kyriakou, P. <em>Rainfall patterns and their association with flood fatalities across diverse Euro-Mediterranean regions over 41 years</em>. npj Nat.
