Going beyond the flood insurance rate map: insights from flood hazard map co-production

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...

Integrated Catastrophic Flood Model for Designing Robust Flood Insurance Program

Preparation of flood sensitivity map using SVM model and the impact of green city development on the increase of flood flow peak and the resulting damage

Aims: The expansion of cities, especially cities that have seen abnormal growth due to economic, social, and political changes, has caused many problems. It has been found that land-use change, especially urbanization, has greatly affected hydrological characteristics. But in most urban designs, flood forecasting is considered through the type of land use (residential, industrial, etc.) and den...

Color map design for visualization in flood risk assessment

Visualizations of flood maps from simulation models are widely used for assessing the likelihood of flood hazards in spatial planning. The choice of a suitable type of visualization as well as efficient color maps is critical to avoid errors or bias when interpreting the data. Based on a review of previous flood uncertainty visualization techniques, this paper identifies areas of improvements a...
