Flash floods versus river floods – a comparison of psychological impacts and implications for precautionary behaviour [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 River floods are among the most damaging natural hazards that frequently occur in Germany. Flooding causes high economic losses and impacts many residents. In 2016, several southern German municipalities were hit by flash floods after unexpectedly severe

Karst flash floods: an example from the Dinaric karst (Croatia) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2006 Flash floods constitute one of the deadliest and costliest natural disasters worldwide. This paper explains the karst flash flood phenomenon, which represents a special kind of flash flood. As the majority of flash floods karst flash floods are caused by

Establishing information seeking pathways in slow and flash floods [PDF]
, 2018 The purpose of this paper is to investigate information seeking behaviour of people involved in slow and flash flood disasters, specifically how they received the first alert, where they then turned for more information, and what their main sources and ...
