Extreme weather in Germany

It seems southern Germany tends to take the most beatings when it comes to natural hazards, weather, etc.
There is extreme weather consisting of thunderstorms, rain, hail, etc that plague the area.
For all of Germany, extreme weather, including heat waves and intense cold events occur within the country. Temperature extremes and flooding seem to be big risks.

As always, there are many procedures in place to study the weather to allow warnings and aid.
In an article on different extreme weather events, it is stated, "Germany has a strategy in place to cope with severe weather events, having defined and established plans for many of the sectors that would be affected by such events. For example, in reaction to the heat-wave 2003, a rapid alert system has been installed in Germany and other European countries, which alerts vulnerable sections of the population..." 

 Germany has these systems to study storms and uses this techology to help/study weather of other countries to alloow for better warning procedures for when these events occur.
Germany studies other countries extreme weather to better understand how to prevent as much destruction as possible in the future.
