Globally, there has been increasing endeavours within the scientific community to develop methods to assess potential natural disaster risks [13]. Natural hazard risk assessments aim to gauge the potential threats posed by a natural disaster to a community. Risk is usually described as “the probabil...
framework for specific catchment scale inundation analysis. We emphasise and reiterate the need of the hour for the generation of an ensemble of inundation maps for probability analysis considering uncertainty in runoff and flow depth that can identify priority-based disaster preparedness and management ...

The results obtained demonstrate the importance of the complementarity of multi-sensor images and a multi-approach methodology to better monitor changes to a wetland area after a flash-flood disaster. Keywords: categorical processing; collaborative change detection; remote sensing; GIS; wet land ...

Floods are the most common and costliest natural hazard in Australia. However, the Flood Resilience Assessments (FReAs) employed to manage them lack a focus on adaptive capacity and tend not to be incorporated into established flood risk frameworks. This
Floods are the most common and costliest natural disaster in Australia. However, the Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) employed to manage them are hazard-focused and tend to overlook exposure and vulnerability. This leaves potential for Australian FRAs to make better use of a technique which holisticall...
Floods generated by rain cause significant economic and human losses. The campus of the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) has a drainage system that conducts stormwater to two discharge points outside the campus. The system works effectiv
