Harnessing Community Science to Address Flood Risks and Build Climate Resilience With Nature‐Based Solutions (NbS)—A Case Study From the Quad Cities Region

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Urban regions situated along major river systems are increasingly facing flood risks, driven by the combined effects of rapid urbanization and intensifying climate change. The Quad Cities region, comprising Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Illinois, is vulnerable to flood hazards caused by extreme ...

Optimizing Flood Hazard Zonation and Planning Landscape‐Based Mitigation Measures in Gimba Sub Watersheds, Northeastern Ethiopia: A Comprehensive Approach

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most critical natural hazards threatening livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecological systems in Ethiopia's highland landscapes. This study presents a rigorously integrated, multi‐criteria flood risk assessment that combines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with GIS‐based spatial modeling to delineate ...

Dynamic Human‐Vehicle Risk Assessment for Urban Flood Evacuations in Island Cities: The MUFE Framework Applied to Haidian Island, Haikou

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban flood disasters demand dynamic assessment of population risk, yet most evacuation models fail to capture the multifaceted, time‐varying nature of such events. To address this gap, this study develops the modular urban flood‐evacuation (MUFE) framework, an integrated approach to dynamic urban flood risk assessment.

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.

Flood Risk Communications Through Maps: Challenges, Perception Theories and Approaches

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood risk communication is a core component of flood risk management, yet persistent challenges limit its effectiveness in supporting public understanding, preparedness and adaptive behaviour. Here, we examine flood risk maps as communication tools at the interface of scientific modelling, visual design, and human risk perception.

Assessment of Vehicle Stability Processes Under Unsteady Flow Conditions

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The vehicle stability criteria are based on experimental and theoretical studies that do not account for the unsteady nature of floods. The rapid variation of depths and velocities in floods causes an additional hydrodynamic force in the direction of the flow, destabilising a vehicle that would otherwise be safe in steady flow conditions. This

Optimisation of Temporary and Demountable Flood Protection for Infrastructure Resilience

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Infrastructure systems provide crucial services to human settlements. Extreme weather events, especially flooding, can disrupt these vital services. Temporary and demountable flood protections (TDFPs) are increasingly used to protect infrastructure assets and provide resilience.

Along the Silenced Footsteps of Latin American Pastoralists: From Mexico to Argentina, a Journey Through Pastoral Systems in Latin America

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best
