An increasing trend of urban floods in India from past several years causes major damages on Indian cities. By 2050, more than half of the population in the developing countries like India are expected to migrate to urban regions. Urbanization is triggered in developing countries as people migrate...
Similarly, we examine the inverted U-shaped relationship between government responsiveness and flood fatalities. The primary reason is that the government spends more on social security programs such as poverty reduction, health, and education in the initial phase. Therefore, fewer resources are devoted...

Flood hazards pose a significant threat to agricultural production. Agricultural adaptations tend to be prevalent and systematic in high-frequency flood (HFF) areas but neglected in low-frequency flood (LFF) areas. Here, using satellite imagery, we map g
Landslides and flash floods are significant natural hazards with substantial risks to human settlements and the environment, and understanding their interconnection is vital. This research investigates the hazards of landslides and floods in two adopted basins in the Yamaguchi and Shimane prefectures, Japan...
