"The general idea is that these types of extreme weather events will get more and more (severe) in future," said Dr. Angelos Amditis from the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) in Greece. "This will be a major issue for our society in the future, and this will really affect our daily lives and ways of moving, working or living."

He is one of a number of researchers who are now studying how we might cope with these situations. They are hoping to develop technologies and methods that can help people and emergency services get real-time information on any serious events, and plan accordingly.
