A Participatory Management Model for Flood-Risk Communication (PMMFRC) in Davao City, Philippines

Digital Surface Model (DSM) Construction and Flood Hazard Simulation for Development Plans in Naga City, Philippines

A 2D-hydraulic flood propagation models require accurate elevation data. One of the main problems is frequent changes of land use in major cities, where frequent updating of the digital terrain model (DTM) for flood modelling might be needed. On the other hand the assessment should be based on realistic flood hazard indicator that would help to reflect the real impact of urban development on th...

Mapping the flood-prone areas for developing a flood risk management system in the northeast of Iran

The use of flood risk map for flood management (urban area of Nekarood)

Flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. This case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. Therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. Considering the development in Iran has been carried out in high risk...

An agent based model for risk-based flood incident management

Effective flood incident management requires successful operation of complex, interacting human and technological systems. A dynamic agent based model of FIM processes has been developed to provide new insights which can be used for policy analysis and other practical applications. The model integrates remotely sensed information on topography, buildings and road networks with empirical survey ...

Issues and Challenges in Flood Risk Management—Editorial for the Special Issue on Flood Risk Management

Recent flood-related disasters (Japan, Thailand, US, Australia) emphasize the need for an effective management of flood risks. As an introduction to this special issue, this editorial summarizes some of the key challenges in the field. Flood risk management needs to recognize the interconnections between infrastructures, economic systems and the role of human factors in assessing and managing t...
