Dear Authors,

after receiving three reviews that were in in favor of publishing the manuscript after minor revisions (resp. technical corrections), I may ask you to proceed with changes promised resp. announced in your replies to each single review.

Please, carefully follow all the necessary comments and prepare a revised version of the manuscript and mark clearly what you have changed in the revised manuscript when compared to the original one.

I expect that you can submit a revised version in three weeks (or earlier).
The revised version of the manuscript will only be reviewed by the Editor.

Kind regards,

Matjaž Mikoš

Dear Authors,

thank you for an interesting study - the manuscript needs only some minor technical corrections (2 references mentioned in the text are missing in the list of references), and please use capitalized words Figure and Table throughout the text.

A minor issue is whether to use the words "crisis managers" or emergency managers", as you are presenting a forecasting system that asks for a response from emergency system rather than (already) a crisis system.

For both presented case studies it would good to add the return period s of these two events.

Thank you for choosing HESS to publish your research results,

sincerely yours,

Matjaž Mikoš
Handling Editor
