Economic assessment of flood damage

Flooding is a natural hazard. In this regard, the topic of floodprone area management being actively explored. The study issue combination two aspects - environmental and economic. economic assessment consequences flooding single cost model based on an criterion. Characteristics such as depth, duration rate have greatest influence severity subsequent damage. Standard damage tables are usually some versus depth. Assuming that conceptual basis for estimating damages same, expected from might be to vary between countries if flood characteristics different damageability properties varies countries. main factors identified by authors in course study, influencing amount flooding, are: resistance group; existing physical wear tear; level. considered percentage decrease real value object. To improve accuracy determining damage, multivariate regression analysis tool with interdependence was selected. It should noted most significant factor level (depth) flooding. group, which depends capital group object, seems less significant. least degree deterioration
