Hazard maps are used for flood mitigation planning, emergency response planning, and flood risk assessments. They show the flood depth and velocity from the detailed hydraulic modelling of the design flood. The hazard maps do not include freeboard. Taking Action The following information is important...

Significant differences between probabilistic and deterministic flood hazard assessments emphasize the need for improved quantification of uncertainties in flood risk management, according to an integrated floodplain modelling system applied to the Duero River in Spain.

remote sensing and hydraulic modeling technology has been extensively used in formulating models used for flood hazard calculation and risk analysis. The occurrence of floods in mountainous regions are now more common related to past and in the future, itseems more frequent due to global warming. ...
2.3Risk When several damage assessments are performed for events with different probabilities, the results can be combined to derive an estimate of the monetary risk per year, also known as expected annual damage (EAD) or (average) annual loss (AAL). This is done by integrating the damage est...
Flood risk assessments are becoming an essential tool for a rational decision-making in river basin planning throughout Europe. In order to comply with the prescriptions of the Floods Directive, quantitative approaches, based on the estimation of the expected annual damage as a risk indicator, ...
Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters of climate change effects in West Africa. Flood risk occurrence is a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, which calls for a better understanding of its spatial extent. The aim of this pa
This paper assembles the most comprehensive set of files ever compiled on flood risk and insurance to investigate the impacts of information provision on residential demand for flood insurance. I find that map updates over the past fifteen years removed more than one million properties from the ...
Although the methodology presented is specifically oriented toward masonry structures, it is general for any other structure types. Considering that “vulnerability curve” is an extensively accepted concept in risk assessments [39,40,41], “curve” is given a more generalized definition in this ...
Land use planning for flood risk reduction has been significantly addressed in literature. However, a clear methodology for flood mitigation oriented land-use planning and its implementation, particularly in developing countries like Lebanon, is still missing. Knowledge on land use planning is still in...
