Glacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya can threaten downstream communities and have large socio-economic consequences if an outburst flood occurs. This study identified 131 glacial lakes in Nepal in 2015 that are greater than 0.1 km2 and performed a first-pass hazard and risk assessment for each lake. The hazard assessment included mass entering the lake, the moraine stability, and how lake expans...

Water resource has become a key constraint for implementing the “Belt and Road” initiative which was raised by Chinese government. Besides study of spatial temporal variability precipitation, this created water hazard risk map along zone through combined flood drought data from 1985. Our results showed that South-Eastern Asia, southern China eastern Southern Asia are areas with most abundant pr...

As flood risks grow worldwide, a well-designed insurance program engaging various stakeholders becomes a vital instrument in flood risk management. The main challenge concerns the applicability of standard approaches for calculating insurance premiums of rare catastrophic losses. This article focuses on the design of a flood-loss-sharing program involving private insurance based on location-spe...

The aim of the present study is to an overview of, and research trends investigate, flood risk communication between 2010 2020. Thus, bibliometric analysis was used as technique. main results comprised 34 identified articles that were mainly published from 2014, onwards. Most authors European, North American Asian countries. It possible observing lack developing countries in Africa Latin Americ...

It is now commonly accepted that the management of flood risks has to be fulfilled within an integrated framework. About two decades ago flood risk was managed from a limited perspective predominantly by means of structural measures aimed at flood control. In contrast integrated flood risk management incorporates the complete management cycle consisting of the phases prevention, protection and ...

Abstract Floods have destroyed people’s lives as well social and environmental assets. Flooding is becoming more severe frequent a result of climate change an increase in human-induced land-use changes, which puts pressure on river channels causes changes morphology. The study was aimed to assess flood danger map inundation areas Ethiopia’s Teji watershed, prone flooding. basic flood-producing ...

Understanding pathways of risk following a natural disaster may help create next-generation targeted interventions. The current study examined if a biomarker of cognitive-affective response (pupil dilation) could identify which individuals are at greatest risk for depression following disaster-related stress. Fifty-one women completed a computer-based task assessing pupillary response to facial...

Social pressure on alluvial plains and deltas is large, both from an economic point of view and from a nature conservation point of view. Gradually, flood risks increase with economic development, because the expected damage increases, and with higher dikes, because the flooding depth increases. Global change, changing social desires, but also changing views, require a revision of flood-risk ma...

Remote sensing plays an important role in flood mapping and is helping advance flood monitoring and management. Multi-scale flood mapping is necessary for dividing floods into several stages for comprehensive management. However, existing data systems are typically heterogeneous owing to the use of different access protocols and archiving metadata models. In this paper, we proposed a sharable a...
