Optimal Flood Mitigation over Flood Propagation Approximations
Globally, flooding is the most frequent among all natural disasters, commonly resulting in damage to infrastructure, economic catastrophe, and loss of life. Since the flow of water is influenced by the shape and height of topography, an effective mechanism for preventing and directing floods is to use structures that increase height, e.g., levees and sandbags. In this paper, we introduce the Op...

The aim of the project is the development of an Early Warning system for flood events based on precipitation analysis and related to historical flooded area detection.The recently change of Humanitarian International Agencies in the way of approaching the emergency preparedness has lead UN (United Nations) system to create a tightened collaboration with different research centers, where ITHACA ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملFlood Characteristics and Mitigation Issues
Among various natural disasters floods make the largest impact in terms of number of casualties, people affected and property lost. Flood data during the past 30 years show that flood events that cause significant impacts have increased at a steady rate. Available data suggest that this increase could be attributed to increasing population and exposure, increasing property values located in vul...
متن کاملInvolving Homeowners in Flood Mitigation
Early efforts to mitigate flood hazards emphasized structural solutions such as dams and levees. More recent strategies have stressed regulatory, nonstructural measures. In neither case, however, has homeowner involvement been given a very important role. Frustrated with the limited success of past efforts, floodplain managers recently have become more interested in encouraging homeowners to ta...
