Vulnerability of Coastal Communities from Storm Surge and Flood Disasters
Disasters in the form of coastal storms and hurricanes can be very destructive. Preparing for anticipated effects of such disasters can help reduce the public health and economic burden. Identifying vulnerable population groups can help prioritize resources for the most needed communities. This paper presents a quantitative framework for vulnerability measurement that incorporates both socioeco...

Background and objective: Natural disasters have always endangered human lives. Flood is one of the most important natural disasters that impose many damages every year in different parts of Iran. This paper tries to study flood and characteristics of Can watershed in Tehran province. The main purpose of this paper is to consider the challenges of flood management in agriculture and provide app...
متن کاملInfluence of a Storm Surge Barrier’s Operation on the Flood Frequency in the Rhine Delta Area
The Rhine River Delta is crucial to the Dutch economy. The Maeslant barrier was built in 1997 to protect the Rhine estuary, with the city and port of Rotterdam, from storm surges. This research takes a simple approach to quantify the influence of the Maeslant storm surge barrier on design water levels behind the barrier. The dikes in the area are supposed to be able to withstand these levels. E...
متن کاملCatastrophe Model Based Quantification of Riverine and Storm Surge Flood Risk in Texas
One of the reasons that insurers refused to cover residential flood risk in the United States in the 1960s was their inability to properly quantify their exposure. Their refusal led to the creation in 1968 of the federally run National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The development of catastrophe models in recent years has refined insurers’ ability to assess flood hazard much more effectively ...
متن کاملModelling the Tracy storm surge – implications for storm structure and intensity estimation
The results of hydrodynamic storm surge modelling are used to inform and construct a detailed quantitative description of the possible changing structure and intensity of severe tropical cyclone Tracy as it proceeded across Beagle Gulf to landfall at the City of Darwin in 1974. The measured storm surge is used as an independent wind calibration proxy to augment the measured eyewall winds and pr...
