Flash floods are considered to be one the worst kind of hazard. They are characterized by their suddenness, rarity, small scale, heavy rain and peak discharge, unpredictable, fast and violent movement. It has severe effects on human society in the form life losses, damages to property, roads, communication and on natural settings. Advances in hydrology, meteorology, engineering, using of GIS an...

Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation events, which is likely to affect the probability of flooding into the future. In this paper we use river flow simulations from nine global hydrology and land surface models to explore uncertainties in the potential impacts of climate change on flood hazard at global...

This research examines changes in residential built-environment flood exposure within the current boundaries of the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan statistical area, by estimating the number of housing units that are located within the floodplains of the region. Housing unit data at the block level from the 1990 to 2010 decennial censuses are used to estimate housing unit exposure to floods using...

Abstract Result-oriented research can uncover hidden flood management obstacles and propose solutions that, if combined with political will, appropriate technology, resources, overcome the majority of Africa’s future calamities. In view this, it is critical to examine researchers' findings on hazard management, particularly now that continent struggling COVID-19 other hazards. This study employ...

Flooding is a particular hazard in urban areas worldwide due to the increased risks to life and property in these regions. SAR sensors are often used to image flooding because of their all-weather day-night capability, and now possess sufficient resolution to image urban flooding. The flood extents extracted from the images may be used for flood relief management and improved urban flood inunda...

Of all natural disasters, flooding causes the greatest amount of economic and social damage. The United States' Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) uses a number of hazard mitigation grant programmes for flood victims, including mitigation offers to relocate permanently repetitive flood loss victims. This study examines factors that help to explain the degree of difficulty repetitive flo...

The existence of sufficient demand for insurance coverage against infrequent losses is important for the adequate function of insurance markets for natural disaster risks. This study investigates how characteristics of flood risk influence household flood insurance demand based on household surveys undertaken in Germany and the Netherlands. Our analyses confirm the hypothesis that willingness t...

To reduce flood damage in the face of increasing frequency and intensity extreme rainfall events, it is necessary to implement linkages between hazard countermeasures resilient community development. This paper introduces an example analysis climate change impact on discharge Japan discusses predictions risk assessment for flood-resistant regional
