A mere action to repair the damage did not meet the requirements. The medal has a diameter of 35 mm and is executed in patinated bronze. On the obverse it shows the coat of arms of Upper Austria and a symbolic depiction of the helpfulness which has come to light in the fight against the flood and bears the inscription "Hochwassereinsatz 1954".
