Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Adaptation measures play a crucial role in mitigating the increasing severity of flood disasters driven by climate change. While various strategies are implemented globally, their geographical characteristics and long‐term effectiveness remain uncertain.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Preparing for unprecedented natural hazard events is challenging because the lack of records and experience makes it impossible to know how such events will unfold. Repeated record‐breaking floods in central Europe have increased awareness of the need for proactive planning beyond observed extremes.

Reviewing the Levee Effect: From Theory to Practice
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Ongoing development in flood‐prone areas has intensified focus on flood‐risk management strategies. Constructed flood protections, like levees, lead to a false sense of security. Resulting development behind levees paradoxically increases flood risk, referred to as the levee effect.

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

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.
