Flood Disaster (German original title ‘Flutkatastrophe’) is a 1977 Swiss short by Roger Steinmann.

The film was labeled ‘Switzerland's first disaster movie' as depicting a major water dam-break with the subsequent flooding of the metropole of Zurich.

[2][3][4][5] 15-year high school-student Roger Steinmann was inspired by Zürich's frequent test-alarms in case of a dam-break.

[6] Steinmann cast one lead-role with his class-mate, the future mathematic-professor Peter Bürgisser.

[9] Together with an interview with filmmaker Steinmann, the film was aired on Swiss national TV on Nov 4, 1978.
