II. Extending warning mechanisms In the subsequent evaluation of the flooding event, it became apparent that warnings and awareness within the general public of flood-related risks were very much insufficient [88,156]. Part of the problem was that the July 2021 flood exceeded all floods the affe...

While the mandate for providing warnings lies with the national authorities, and triggers for early humanitarian action must be based on these mandated forecasts, international organisations can provide key supporting information. In the case of Mozambique, a WMO mission following Idai found that ...
Business disruption and response planning (BDRP) has the potential to reduce business disruption in a variety of ways, including through (1) enhancing “resilience thinking,” (2) reducing or eliminating ill-considered location decisions, (3) developing contingency plans linked to early warnings desig...
These short-term predictions are essential for immediate flood warnings, allowing for timely interventions. However, as the forecast horizon extends to three to six hours ahead (3HA to 6HA), the accuracy of these models diminishes. This reduction in accuracy presents a challenge for medium- to ...
Understanding the effect of land use and land cover (LULC) type change on watershed hydrological response is essential for adopting applicable measures to control floods. In China, the Grain to Green Program (GTGP) and the Natural Forest Conservation Pro
It should be noted that in the south of the Madrid Community, flood risk warnings are given with rainfall of 30 mm in 1 h (orange or major weather hazard) and 60 mm/h (red or extreme weather hazard) [25]. The soils correspond [26] on the limestone moors to chromic and calcareous ...
Lastly, language proficiency is a measure of social vulnerability that affects people in all the stages of the disaster, as they cannot be well-informed about the warnings, evacuations, and resources for recovery [36]. 2.4.2. Socioeconomic Status: Income and Education People with low income ...
Flash flooding is one of the most severe natural hazards and commonly occurs in mountainous and hilly areas. Due to the rapid onset of flash floods, early warnings are critical for disaster mitigation and adaptation. In this paper, a flash flood warning scheme is proposed based on hydrodynamic ...
