Risks associated with flooding events
Veterinary Record, 2020The article from the APHA ‘Medium- to long-term endemic disease risks associated with flooding events’ ( VR , 7 March 2020, vol 186, pp 275-277) was very practical and timely. I would like to add one further risk factor not referred to in the article, namely the risk associated with water dropwort ( Oenanthe crocata ) and specifically …

Reinforcing flood–risk estimation
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002Flood-frequency estimation is inherently uncertain. The practitioner applies a combination of gauged data, scientific method and hydrological judgement to derive a flood-frequency curve for a particular site. The resulting estimate can be thought fully satisfactory only if it is broadly consistent with all that is reliably known about the flood ...

Flood Insurance and Flood Risk Reduction
2018The rapid increase in losses from flooding underlines the importance of risk reduction efforts to prevent or at least mitigate the damaging impacts that floods can bring to communities, businesses, and countries. This article provides an overview of how the science of disaster risk management has improved understanding of pre-event risk reduction [or ...

Natural Hazards, 2003
The Cairns region, on the north tropical coast of Queensland, forms part of the wettest area in Australia, with mean annual rainfalls of 2,000 to 4,000 mm. During the summer and early autumn months, intense rainfalls associated with cyclones and other tropical weather influences persist for several days, and can produce severe flooding in the Barron ...

Flooding risk : analysis of the Vaison La Romaine flood, some insights on flooding risks
1994This article presents a brief summary of the survey conducted to thoroughly analyze the September 22, 1992 flood which occurred on the Ouvèze watershed. A brief description of the watershed and of the flood is followed by the analysis which was done using the data available to quantify the phenomenon.
