Recent flood events in Switzerland and Western Austria in 2005 were characterised\udby an increase in impacts and associated losses due to the transport of woody\udmaterial. As a consequence, protection measures and bridges suffered considerable damages. Furthermore, cross-sectional obstructions due to woody material entrapment caused unexpected flood plain inundations resulting in severe damage to elements at risk. Until now, the transport of woody material is neither sufficiently taken into account nor systematically considered, leading to prediction inaccuracies during the procedure of hazard mapping. To close this gap, we propose a modelling approach that (1) allows the estimation of woody material recruitment from wood-covered banks and flood plains; (2)\udallows the evaluation of the disposition for woody material entrainment and transport to\udselected critical configurations along the stream and that (3) enables the delineation of\udhazard process patterns at these critical configurations. Results from a case study suggest\udthe general applicability of the concept. This contribution to woody material transport\udanalysis refines flood hazard assessments due to the consideration of woody material\udtransport scenarios
