In conclusion, our multicounty, matched, case-control analysis offers strong and compelling evidence that gestational flood exposure significantly elevates the pregnancy loss risk for women from developing countries. Furthermore, this risk is accentuated for women with lower income and educational levels,...
Portsmouth Coastal Flood Vulnerability and Risk:assessment and mapping of impacts at microscale. Within the UK, coastal community's risk to flooding has increased. Enclosed in these flood affected communities, people and areas suffer at different levels according to their vulnerability. This thesis desc...
Managing flood risk, i.e. both the hazard and the potential consequences, is an important aspect of adapting to global change and has gained much traction
Table 1 Overview of the four adaptation strategies for the 3 °C warming scenario in 2100 at country levels and EU + UK level Full size table Strengthening existing dyke systems is cost-effective in most countries of Europe but with considerable variation between countries in risk reduction...
experiences a methodology is being proposed by the author that is intended to meet ecologic, spatial, structural, social, disaster relief and flood risk aspects. It concludes that: "Flood resilience combines (1) spatial, (2) structural, (3) social, and (4) risk management levels of flood ...
To support decision-making in river flood risk reduction, this study takes a further step to examine the benefits and corresponding residual risks for a range of flood protection levels. To do that, we channelled runoff information of a baseline period (forced by observed hydroclimate conditions)...
The outputs from this model for a UK insurance industry portfolio include ‘loss exceedence probabilities’ as well as ‘average annualized losses’, which can be employed for calculating coastal flood risk premiums in each postcode. 展开 关键词: catastrophe modelling North Sea storm surge flood ...
Urban flood risk assessment performs comprehensive evaluation of hazard-formative factors, hazard-formative environments, hazard-affected bodies, and the capability for disaster prevention and reduction with the aim of obtaining accurate assessment of flood risk levels [12]. Traditionally, flood risk assess...
On this basis, the Jenks methodology is used to classify the risk levels into five, which are lower, low, medium, high, and higher. Most of the medium–higher vulnerable areas are mainly located in urban land areas. Most areas have low vegetation cover but are densely populated and more ...
