(1952). Along seashores and on islands floods may result from the inundation of the coastal zone by a wave formed during earthquakes or volcanic eruptions in the ocean (tsunamis). Floods of this type occur frequently on the shores of Japan and other Pacific islands. Breaks in dams or ...
a Trends in population and fixed assets living within 100-year flood hazard zone in England, using Environment Agency (EA) flood risk map and RAIN project map used in this study. b estimated persons affected (normalized) in England, compiled by intersecting EA historical flood outlines with ...
If you live in a high-risk flood zone, your lender will likely require you to obtain flood insurance. Even if it's not required, there are some areas where flood insurance is still recommended. If you're unsure what flood zone you're in, use our Flood Zone Map tool. If you ...
Determining the scale of past flood events should therefore be based on statistical descriptors (i.e. flood severity), spatiotemporal descriptors (i.e. flood magnitude) and also on socio-economical descriptors (i.e. the extent of flood damage, human casualties, psychological impact). This being ...
For example, during the response phase of flood management, there may be a need for real-time drone-based mapping solutions to quickly provide a map of flood-affected areas, even if the accuracy is not 100%. On the other hand, during the mitigation phase, a flood hazard zone mapping ...
(1971–2000). The floodplain includes all river sections with a catchment area above 100 km2. The map does not include flood defences and therefore constitutes all potentially inundated areas. It should be noted that seven events were not included in the normalization and further analysis due ...
River flood monitoring systems in many locations. See how our instrumentation is used by California’sZone 7 Water Agency. Road and urban flood monitoring systems help local authorities know when to close roads due to floodwater. Stormwater monitoring, including storm drains—check out ourStorm...
While hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, and earthquakes are far more dramatic disasters, floods are actually the most expensive disasters worldwide. Often, this is attributed to the long-term damage caused by moisture creeping into every part of a building, leading to mold....

Quang Nam province, central Vietnam, is situated within the tropical monsoon and typhoon zone of south-east Asia and is susceptible to extreme floods. Historical water level data from 1976 to 2009 for the Vu Gia-Thu Bon river system have been used to simulate flood frequency, concluding that...
