The bare facts of flood risk are disquieting. In England, approximately 10 per cent of residential properties, housing five million people, are located in areas at substantial risk of flooding. Managing the risks of flooding and coastal erosion involves the expenditure of about £600 million of...
The UK's leading Job board for Flood risk management jobs, water engineering jobs, water resources jobs, waste resources jobs, hydrology jobs, ecology jobs and conservation sustainability jobs
Flood risk today According to the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH), the period from July to December 2023 was the rainiest on record in the UK since 18901. Climate change makes it harder to predict and prepare for floods, and flood zones may become outdated, worsening the prob...
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 ...
Human exposure to floods continues to increase, driven by changes in hydrology and land use. Adverse impacts amplify for socially vulnerable populations, w
Risk-based analysis for flood damage redu... M Burnham,H Dotson 被引量: 0发表: 1997年 Towards risk-based flood hazard management in the UK Flood engineering in Britain is evolving from traditional approaches based on design standards to the development of risk-based decision-making, which invo...
In particular we consider insurance's role in influencing five key components of anticipatory FRM: risk knowledge, prevention through better planning, property-level protection measures, structural protection and preparedness (for response). We find that in both countries FRM is still a reactive, ...
Principles of adaptive evacuation management for flood risk planning in the Netherlands Evacuation is a measure taken to potentially reduce the loss of life and damage to movable goods. This thesis focuses on the Netherlands as a representativ... B Kolen - 《S.l. S.n》 被引量: 21发表: ...
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...
Managing floods has a long tradition in the UK [20]. Local planning authorities in the UK have a responsibility to carry out a strategic flood risk assessment for their territories. Strategic flood risk assessment reports remind us that historical fluvial events have to be considered as a ...
