Though potentially very useful to engineers, this information can mislead planners and developers into assuming that areas outside these limits are risk free. This paper reports on an alternative, geo...
Flood risk assessments start with an assessment of the flood hazard, which indicates the probability and intensity of a possible event (hazard assessment; e.g. Pappenberger et al.2012; Alfieri et al.2013). This hazard information can be overlaid with socio-economic information, such as land u...
Flood risk assessment methods mainly consist of four steps, including: hazard assessment, exposure assessment, vulnerability assessment and risk assessment (Penning-Rowsell et al.2005b; Foudi et al.2015). Even though all of these steps are important in the flood risk assessment process, flood haz...
WALES: NO MORE FLOODS; Map redrawn to cut flood zone by 90% He said there was a real need for less heat and more light to be focused on the subject, adding: "It could be that when you designate all undeveloped land in flood plains as de facto green belt, and start to take an ...
[2004] suggest that the average annual costs from flooding could increase to more than £20 billion by 2080 in England and Wales alone. To provide the most appropriate mitigation strategies against coastal flooding in a region, it is essential to accurately establish the future risk associated ...
The Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks (2007/60/EC - The `Floods' Directive) requires Member States to identify areas of potentially significant flood risk through the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA). This assessment needs to consider flooding from a range of source...
