An Evaluation of the Flood Warning Information System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The focus of this paper is on a prototype information system called the Flood Warning Information System (FWIS) that has been developed for the purpose of communicating flood risks to the public. The system explores the use of a graphic and spatial interface for presenting and accessing flood warning messages. Graphics are being used to challenge traditional flood warning modes because they appear to be a natural and instinctive form of communication that have been used since early Mesopotamian times and are considered to be an almost universal language.

Floods are among the natural disasters that cause human hardship and economic loss. Establishing a viable flood forecasting and warning system for communities at risk can mitigate these adverse effects. However, establishing an accurate flood forecasting system is still challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the effective variables in forecasting. The present study has indicated that th...

Rivers are important water resources for human life, but sometimes cause irreparable damages. The flood plains are fertile terrains which are endangered by flood. Flood hazard mapping is one of the basic methods in flood fighting. In order to decline flood damages, the simulation of the hydraulic behavior of the rivers during flood occurrence is very important. In this study, areas that are flo...
متن کاملORDERED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SOFT MODEL OF FLOOD ALARM
A flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. Several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. This work illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. In this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...
