A comparative analysis of flood damage models: lessons learnt and future challenges
(2021)Flood damage assessment is crucial to address the challenges of climate and socio-economic changes. Researchers and practitioners have developed several damage models to tackle local and regional situations. Particularly ... -
A flood resilience observatory in French Polynesia: results and research perspectives from the ILOTS project
(2021)It has been pointed out that the French overseas territories are very concerned by flash floods, but this risk is poorly addressed by the national Government and local authorities. The need to innovate in flood risk ... -
A method to assess the failure probabilities of river levees based on Elicitation, Calibration, Aggregation, and Debiasing of expert judgement (IeCAD)
(2021)Studies carried out to analyse the risks of levees must include an evaluation of the probabilities of occurrence of different failure mechanisms (overflow, internal erosion, sliding and scouring). The probabilistic ... -
A new model for consideration of flow velocity in flood damage and loss prognosis
(2021)Reliable prognoses of building damage caused by flood impact require realistic relationships between action and damage or loss describing parameters. A remarkable progress is reached with the EDAC flood damage model which ... -
A Resilient Leadership for Resilient Cities
(2021)This theoretical paper takes an aesthetic view of leadership to investigate the leadership needed to make cities more resilient. It sees an urban system as a complex, evolving entity constantly crossed by a variety of ... -
A simple conceptual model for coupled hydrological-hydraulic simulation in large basins with significant flood-propagation effects.
(2021)This paper presents a model based on the combination of two simple conceptual sub-models, one for hydrology and one for hydraulics, which is capable of representing the discharges of large river basins with significant ... -
A tailor-made 1D hydrodynamic modelling solution for flood forecasting on the Danube catchment
(2021)The Hungarian Hydrological Forecasting Service has a long history in model based hydrological forecasting on the Danube catchment. An extensive set of semi-distributed rainfall-runoff models with advanced snow calculation ... -
Acknowledging residual risk behind dikes: Examples from the USA, Quebec (Canada) and France
(2021)Although hydraulic infrastructure such as levees remain important for flood risk management in the USA, France, and Quebec (Canada), there is increasing emphasis on non-structural measures, such as regulatory flood maps, ... -
Adaptation pathways and path dependencies: Insights into past and future decision-making in flood risk management
(2021)Recent extreme flood events show that the challenges posed by climate-related risks demand well-informed and -prepared local planning and governance. Consequently, the main political and academic discourse revolves around ... -
Adapting to the impacts of pluvial flooding: Results of a household survey in three German municipalities
(2021)In recent years, German cities have been heavily impacted by pluvial flooding, causing for example losses of ~€70 million in Münster (2014) and ~€60 million in Potsdam and Berlin (2017). Additionally, pluvial flood impacts ... -
Application of HEC-HMS for rainfall-runoff modelling in Mozambique and France
(2021)In the present study, the suitability of HEC-HMS to simulate event-based rainfall-runoff in the catchments of Revubue in Mozambique and Ardèche in France was evaluated. These are tributaries of two important rivers in ... -
Assessing direct flood damages using open data in diverse urban environments
(2021)Local flood risk assessments require integration of many detailed data sources from the public and private sector. In the framework of the EIT Climate-KIC Demonstrator project “SaferPLACES”, we explore how openly available ... -
Assessing resilience to floods in an holistic perspective in French Polynesia
(2021)The increase in flood events intensity and recurrence has considerably weakened urban areas and populations. The material and human damages led to social, economic, political, political and environmental impacts that can ... -
BresDefender: A potential emergency measure to prevent or postpone a dike breach.
(2021)Dikes are designed to withstand a load, with a certain finite probability of occurrence. In case of crises regarding to flood safety, the military is expected to prevent low-laying areas against flooding. Historical attempts ... -
Climate Adaptation in Ireland
(2021)It is likely that climate change will have significant impacts on flood risk in Ireland due to rising sea levels, increased rainfall and more intense storms. While it is important that causes of climate change are addressed, ... -
Communication in crisis management – current status, needs and potential development areas
(2021)This work aim is to present the communication systems that are currently available on the market and to discuss them regarding their use, shortcomings, potential improvement and development opportunities. It also presents ... -
Comprehensive flood risk analysis at your fingertip through cloud-computing and standardized approach
(2021)Royal HaskoningDHV has been developing the Global Flood Risk Tool (GFRT). The GFRT is Royal HaskoningDHV’s cloud-based platform that delivers accurate and comprehensible flood risk analysis and recommends investment proposals ... -
Considering 3D-objects within a 2D hydraulic modelling approach of pluvial flooding events
(2021)The production of pluval flood hazard maps have became increasingly important in recent years. In contrast to fluvial flood hazard modelling a more detailed consideration of small surface structures and permeable structures ... -
Continuuous assessment of the resilience of critical infrastructure: the Nantes ring road flood experimental scenario
(2021)Flooding is frequent on the Nantes ring road and disrupts users dependent on this mode of transport directly or indirectly. To deal with them, the road operator has defined preventive and curative measures based essentially ... -
Control over one’s environment? Leveling political capabilities to advance procedural justice in Flood Risk Management
(2021)Land use change, managed retreat, and relocation programs are examples of exposure reduction measures in Flood Risk Management (FRM). Procedural justice research can help to address inequalities in people’s ability to shape ...
