The resulting flood risk map, which is the product of flood hazard and flood vulnerability, revealed that 9% of the island was located within highly risky regions, while 13.2% was classified as moderate risk zones. Spatial analysis of these high-risk areas indicated their concentration in the ...
In many regions, growth in the most hazardous flood zones is outpacing growth in non-exposed zones by a large margin, particularly in East Asia, where high-hazard settlements have expanded 60% faster than flood-safe settlements. These results provide systematic evidence of a divergence in the ...
Results show that (1) both the training and testing error rate of RF can be reduced by increasing the sample size and the number of classification trees, (2) the higher and highest-risk zones occupy approximately 19.09% of the total, and are primarily located in Baoan, Longgang, Huiyang, ...
In Scenario 3, all residential properties that are within flood A zones or flood V zones will be considered in the buyout plan. Consequently, many properties in Galveston Island and the northeast coast are changed to retired buildings. Scenario 4 focuses on mitigating flood risk by removing ...
After the hazard assessment has been carried out, the hazard data (for example, a map of inundation extent and depth) can be combined with information on the exposure (i.e. the people, property, systems or other elements assets present in the hazard zones that can be subjected to potential...
Properties located in zones designated with an A are considered high risk. They are broken down further, with descriptions of potential flood-water heights and estimated rates of occurrence over the course of a30-year mortgage. Properties that receive a V designation are similar to those located ...
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
Efficient irrigation practices, such as subsurface drip irrigation, reduce the total amount of water applied and optimize water distribution to the root zones. The reduction of soil N2O emissions through subsurface drip irrigation has been reported as a promising mitigation strategy (Burger et al., ...
The current relief generates conditions of potential flood risk in zones III and VI due to the decrease in the height of the topographic relief. 4. Discussion In addition to the natural causes of floods [47], there are anthropogenic causes such as modifications to the topographic relief and ...
Recovery and resilience of communities in flood risk zones in a small island developing state: A case study from a suburban settlement of Port Louis, Mauritius. Int. J. Disaster Risk Reduct. 2018, 28, 826–838. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Milanesi, L.; Pilotti, M. Coupling flood ...
