Recent flash flooding in the Yan region of Kedah severely affected population well-being. This natural disaster has washed away large quantities logs area. In addition to examining impacts and adaptation response floods, this study examines causes floods that occur. The cause flood was determined through observations validated by information from relevant government publications, a questionnair...

This work analyses the prominent characteristics of flash flood regimes in two Mediterranean areas: the NorthWestern Mediterranean region, which includes Catalonia, France and Northern Italy, and the South-Eastern Mediterranean region, which includes Israel. The two regions are characterized by similarities in the hydro-meteorological monitoring infrastructure, which permits us to ensure homoge...

T HE DISASTER IN LEH. Less than 1 week after the catastrophic slow-rise flooding of the Indus River in Pakistan in late July 2010 (Houze et al. 2011), f looding of a different, more sudden type produced a disaster in the city of Leh, India, located 500 km to the east. The town of Leh, located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir State in India, is a high-altitude cold desert valley, 3,500 ...

In summer of 2014 the city of Münster experienced an urban flash flood not seen before with such intensity in Germany. This paper investigates the subsequent governmental and ad-hoc community response actions with a focus on the chronologies of Facebook and Twitter usage. Interviews identified drawbacks of coordinating volunteers in social media ecosystems. Possible solutions to overcome issues...

Abstract Flash floods are largely driven by high rainfall rates in convective storms that projected to increase frequency and intensity a warmer climate the future. However, quantifying changes future flood flashiness is challenging due lack of high-resolution simulations. Here we use outputs from continental convective-permitting numerical weather model at 4-km hourly resolution force hydrolog...

Hydrometeorological disasters are showing an increasing trend in Indonesia. Flash floods part of a hydrometeorological disaster that has significant livelihood impact. Flood is triggered by the intensity extreme rain, several actions mitigation can be taken early warning systems, hazard and risk mapping, community preparedness, climate change adaptation. So, how does future land use have impact...

Floods are the most important risk in Mediterranean region, both due to their frequency and impact. Studies of historical floods show flood-rich periods that could be associated with climate causes, but there is also a certain growing trend as result changes land use increased vulnerability. If scenarios point an increase torrentiality precipitation, longer dry more intense rainfall, still high...
