With 6.5 million households in the United States located in areas prone to storm surge, assessing the vulnerability of structures and residential communities to coastal flooding is an important concern. Of particular interest is understanding how the performance of structures during surge events is influenced by flood conditions, coastal defenses, and building design at both the house and commu...

rural community and their services, productive activities, because of strong relation with environment, from long bygone were exposed to disastrous natural power. therefore residents of every region by experiment, apply the approaches and measurement to contrast with these events and reduce the damage of them in their community. public attention focused on physical factor and human making envir...

Conventionally flood mapping typically includes only a static water level (e.g. peak of a storm tide) in coastal flood inundation events. Additional factors become increasingly important when increased water-level thresholds are met during the combination of a storm tide and increased mean sea level. This research incorporates factors such as wave overtopping and river flow in a range of flood ...

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 ...

Early flood warning and real-time monitoring systems play a key role in flood risk reduction and disaster response decisions. Global-scale flood forecasting and satellite-based flood detection systems are currently operating, however their reliability for decision making applications needs to be assessed. In this study, we performed comparative evaluations of several operational global flood fo...

flood is one of the major hydroecological phenomena that in each period causes damages to human achievements. therefore, controlling this phenomenon is the subject of many researchers' works and studies specially hydrologists who have tried to predict the flood`s possible behavior by modeling it. this paper is trying to help one of the most widely used methods to estimate the maximum disch...

There has been an increase in the occurrence of sudden local flooding of great volume and short duration caused by heavy or excessive rainfall intensity over a small area, which presents the greatest potential danger threat to the natural environment, human life, public health and property, etc. Such flash floods have rapid runoff and debris flow that rises quickly with little or no advance war...
