The Decoration for acknowledgement of excellent deeds performed during a flood disaster (Dutch: Onderscheidingsteken ter erkenning van uitstekende daden bij watersnood verricht), usually called Flood disaster Medal (Dutch: Watersnoodmedaille), was created by royal decree on 27 March 1855 by King William III of the Netherlands.[1] The medal is intended for those civilians who have shown zeal, courage, leadership, and self-sacrifice during the event of a flood disaster.[1]
