From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.
