چکیده
• A database with flash floods and heavy rainfall events in Germany 2 URBAS project overview • Improving quality of flash flood forecasts URBAS is organised in an interdisciplanery manner. Aspects from city planning, hydrology, hydraulics, meteorology, damage assessment, emergency planning, and insurance issues are playing important roles. In order to get an overview over occurrence of urban flash flood events as well as their management, a data base with recent events has been set up. The above mentioned aspects are contained in this data base, providing a basis for drawing statistical conclusions e.g. on preferred regions of damage producing urban flash floods or on topographical preferences (Fig. 1). • A detailed analysis of 15 case studies

متن کاملDeveloping an effective 2-D urban flood inundation model for city emergency management based on cellular automata
Flash floods have occurred frequently in the urban areas of southern China. An effective process-oriented urban flood inundation model is urgently needed for urban storm-water and emergency management. This study develops an efficient and flexible cellular automaton (CA) model to simulate storm-water runoff and the flood inundation process during extreme storm events. The process of infiltratio...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of High-Resolution Radar Rainfall and Citizen-Reported Flash Flood Data in Ultra-Urban New York City
New York City (NYC) is an ultra-urban region, with over 50% impervious cover and buried stream channels. Traditional flood studies rely on the presence of stream gages to detect flood stage and discharge, but these methods cannot be used in ultra-urban areas. Here we create a high-resolution radar rainfall dataset for NYC and utilize citizen and expert reports of flooding throughout the city to...
