Flood risk perception and implications for flood risk management in the Netherlands [PDF]
International Journal of River Basin Management, 2004 Abstract A society well@aware of risks must not only give attention to the prevention of flood risks but must also consider disaster management, i.e. minimising casualties and flood damages, and enhancing recovery. The Netherlands has a solid network of levees along the rivers that protect the many low‐lying polders from flooding.

A holistic methodology for evaluating flood vulnerability, generating flood risk map and conducting detailed flood inundation assessment [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFlood risk assessment (FRA) is a process of evaluating potential flood damage by considering vulnerability of exposed elements and consequences of flood events through risk analysis which recommends the mitigation measures to reduce the impact of floods.

Flood Risk Analysis on Terrains [PDF]
Proceedings of the 25th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, 2017 An important problem in terrain analysis is modeling how water flows across a terrain and creates floods by filling up depressions. In this article, we study the flooding query problem: Preprocess a given terrain Σ, represented as a triangulated xy -monotone surface with n

Stochastic generation of spatially coherent river discharge peaks for continental event-based flood risk assessment [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 We present a new method to generate spatially coherent river discharge peaks over multiple river basins, which can be used for continental event-based probabilistic flood risk assessment.

Effective flood risk visualisation [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2020 AbstractThe effective communication of flood risk offers the opportunity to ensure communities can adapt and respond appropriately to changing local conditions. At a time of diminishing resources, such local responses, which can empower communities and make them more resilient to uncertain future flood events, are vital. The most general and accessible
