In this study, we developed an innovative operational decision-support system (DSS) based on flood data and mitigation or recovery options, that can be used by both naïve and expert users to score portfolios of flood mitigation or recovery measures. The DSS combines exposure (i.e., economic, social, or environmental values at risk) and resilience (i.e., protection of the main equilibrium functi...

The world, over the course even of its relatively recent history, has known many natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, hurricanes, floods, droughts, and pandemics. The 1918-1919 Spanish flu pandemic killed more than 20 million people (some estimates run as high as 50 million).

Abstract There is a movement towards the concepts of integrated flood risk management and governance. In these concepts, each stakeholder prone to flooding tasked with actively limiting impacts. Currently, relatively more research has focused upon adaptation private households not on businesses operating in flood-prone areas. This paper offers an extension this literature business-level by expl...

Impact Forecasting has developed a catastrophe flood model for Czechia to estimate insurance losses. The is built on dataset of 12,066 years daily rainfall and temperature data the European area, representing current climate (LAERTES-EU). This was used as input rainfall–runoff model, resulting in series river channel discharges. Using analyses global regional models dealing with impacts change,...
