Present day and future social vulnerability, flood risk and disadvantage across the UK are explored using the UK Future Flood Explorer. In doing so, new indices of neighbourhood flood vulnerability and social flood risk are introduced and used to provide a quantitative comparison of the flood risks...

Flood risk mapping and control of development in floodplains in the UK Floods are natural, sometimes disastrous, events that can threaten life, damage property and disrupt communications. Over 10% of the total land area of Eng... YE Sun,D Moore,P Butcher - International Symposium on Flood ...
Floods have affected billions worldwide. Yet, the indirect health impacts of floods on vulnerable groups, particularly women in the developing world, remain underexplored. Here, we evaluated the risk of pregnancy loss for women exposed to floods. We analyzed 90,465 individual pregnancy loss records ...

The rise in hazards in the southwest also contributes to a certain extent to the eventual concentration of the higher-risk areas for flooding in the southwestern part of the Guanzhong Plain. Combined with Figure 9, it can be seen that in the 25%–75% interval, more data exist for SSP245...
In Section 2, the study area and data are introduced. Section 3 describes the methods adopted in this study, including the combined weight method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The results of the flood risk assessment based on the dynamic population distribution, combined weight method, fuzzy ...
Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 d

In terms of methodology, different approaches can be found. Sometimes, risk assessments at this scale are performed all at once, using a single model, applied nationwide (see Hall et al. (2003,2005) and Evans et al. (2004) for the UK). In these cases, the consistency of the results ...
