Optimizing LID Practices in the Genoa Urban Drainage System Based on the Community's Call for Action Through Participatory Mapping

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel methodology for optimizing installation of low impact development practices (LIDs) in an urban hydrological catchment. This methodology helps stakeholders in deciding on what kind and area of LID must be installed in each sub‐catchment to attenuate pluvial flooding as a result of intense rain events.

Hybrid Hydrodynamic‐Machine Learning Modelling for Rapid Flood Scenario Assessment: A Case Study in Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters worldwide. It is also expected to become more severe as climate change impacts are realised. Two‐dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic models are used to obtain reliable inundation estimations.

Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

Regional Flood Emergency Capacity Assessment Based on a Multidimensional Framework

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowing the status of emergency capacity for disaster risk reduction helps the government and stakeholders to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risk. However, there is no widely applied methodology for emergency capacity assessment. This study develops a multidimensional framework integrating vulnerability, susceptibility, and adaptability

Coupling Waterlogging Hazard Assessment Based on SWMM–LISFLOOD Simulation in Chaoyang River Basin of Nanning, China

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban stormwater waterlogging poses significant threats to public safety and property, making scientific and effective risk management a crucial element in China's whole‐area sponge city construction. This study evaluates waterlogging hazards in Nanning's Chaoyang River Basin using a SWMM–LISFLOOD coupled model to simulate 11 design storm ...
