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 ... -
Coping with flood risk adaptation in Mediterranean countries: evidences, uncertainties, strategies and limits
(2021)Hydrometeorological risks are the most important natural hazard in the world. Among them, flood risk is the one that affects more population and causes the greatest damages. Their mitigation and adaptation to the impact ... -
Current and future flood risk in the Danube region using an open loss modelling framework
(2021)Climate informee planning of adaptation actions requires consistent and reliable information about future risks as well as appropropriate tools and services to support comprehensive flood risk assessment and management. ... -
Daily and seasonal deformations of a Dutch Levee along a tidal river and during dry and wet conditions.
(2021)Along the river ‘Hollandse IJssel’ in The Netherlands two infiltration test have been executed. In both situations the levee is infiltrated over a stretch of 30 meters by a maximum overflow of 1.8 l/m/s. Dutch design ... -
Data integration for rapid flood mapping and impact assessment
(2021)Efficient flood disaster response and recovery need rapid flood mapping and impact assessments. Increasing amounts of data are available in near real-time from a growing diversity of sensors and data sources. Therefore we ... -
Degradation of grass revetments: a comparison of field observations and structured expert judgement
(2021)Many flood defences in areas with a mild wave climate and lack of strong currents are covered with a grass revetment, typically on top of an erosion-resistant (clay) layer. The grass revetment increases the erosion-resistance ... -
Design flood assessment on the upper Rhine using historical data and accounting for discharge uncertainty
(2021)Design floods on the upper Rhine River are a major issue for French-German agreements on flood embankments. As intense river training has modified the Rhine River morphology during the 19th century, with a significant ... -
Detection of seepages and monitoring of structural changes in earthen embankments by FO DTS
(2021)The aim of this paper is to describe an innovation in the monitoring of performance of earth embankments, namely the use of sensing systems for full-time monitoring of ash pond and irrigation pond seepages. In the past ... -
Developing multivariable probabilistic flood loss models for companies
(2021)Decision-making in flood risk management strongly relies on the accurate estimation of monetary flood loss. Recent advancements in the field promote the use of multivariable flood loss models that consider a multitude of ... -
Development of a flood damage model for urban drainage networks
(2021)A thorough understanding and assessment of flood damage to network infrastructures is fundamental to assist both policy makers and managing authorities in mitigation and restoration actions against inundations and, ... -
Development of flood mapping techniques and their efforts on flood assessment and management in European coastal cities
(2021)Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to climate change and, in these areas as elsewhere, the assessment and management of climate risks is a key issue. Among natural hazards, flood is one of the most damaging. Flood mapping ... -
Development of Vulnerability Module for Inland Flood CAT Models in Central European Countries
(2021)Flooding is a ubiquitous and frequent hazard in Central Europe in both low-lying river valleys and off the floodplains. Recent record-breaking inland floods, such as the Central European floods of 2013, are a stark reminder ... -
Discharge-damage curve and EAD estimates in the Pamplona metropolitan area (Spain) by using insurance data
(2021)Flood risk assessment studies require information about direct damages that can be summarised through the expected annual damage (EAD). The discharge-damage curve for a given location is required to estimate EAD. The ...
