Pluvial flooding: hazard mapping and derivation of impact indicators
(2021)Climate change is likely to cause a change in frequency and intensity of convective thunderstorms and associated heavy precipitation. Typical consequences of such events are a rapid generation of surface runoff with high ... -
Post-disaster reorganisation of local and national institutions: the case of St. Martin after hurricane Irma (West Indies)
(2021)With the concept of "build back better", the United Nations emphasizes the importance of the recovery phase following a natural hazard as an opportunity to implement vulnerability reduction measures. This work here focuses ... -
Post-event Flood Damage Surveys: A New Zealand Experience and Implications for Flood Risk Analysis
(2021)Disaster risk managers are shifting from hazard-centric identification of asset exposure, to quantitative risk assessments based on an understanding of asset vulnerability to impacts. For flood hazard management this shift ... -
Practical indicators for road infrastructure resilience to flood risks in France, case study of Nantes Ring Road network
(2021)After the adoption of the European Floods Directive in 2007, Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (EPRI) was carried out in 2011 in France. It highlighted the protection of road infrastructures from flood hazards as an important ... -
Predictive condition-based monitoring for low utilisation motor driven flood risk management infrastructure
(2021)This paper describes the ambition of the Environment Agency to develop and trial predictive condition-based monitoring systems for its mechanical and electrical flood risk management equipment. The aims, objective and ... -
Quantitative assessment of evacuation measures in flood-prone areas
(2021)Evacuation is a tool to minimize the loss of life and economic damages in flood (threat) scenarios. The Dutch programs ‘Water and Evacuation’ and ‘Wave2020’ focused on the improvement of emergency preparation. Effort has ... -
Regional guide lines for flood risk assessment and emergency response: participatory approach and IT tools for risk management.
(2021)Puglia Region has issued, under the "2014-2020 National Governance and Institutional Capacity Operational Program", the “Regional Guidelines for Municipal Civil Protection Plans” in order to improve risk management for ... -
Risk Informed Decisions for Levees
(2021)Recent events including the establishment of national levee committees in many countries as well as the recent establishment of a Technical Committee on Levees at the International Commission on Large Dams points to the ... -
River-dike-floodplain system Interactions and temporal dynamics for large-scale flood risk assessment
(2021)In a complex network river, hydrodynamic interactions – changes of hydrodynamic characteristics downstream due to upstream effects – play an important role when determining flood hazard and risk. The correct representation ... -
Sentinel data for flood disaster monitoring and assessment: case studies in Romania
(2021)Floods represent one of the most significant natural disaster in Romania. The paper describes the main stages of image processing, for flood disaster monitoring and assessment in radar domain: the processing chain involves ... -
Serious gaming as an innovative means for handling complexity in flood risk reduction
(2021)Flood risk reduction has always been vital to the Netherlands. The complexity that flood risk managers are facing has grown over time and is expected to do so due to developments of new knowledge, methods, innovations and ... -
Shifting from asset damage to well-being loss within flood risk management
(2021)Floods can be a cause of poverty. Poverty itself magnifies the impact of floods as poor people are more vulnerable and less resilient. Traditional flood risk assessments (FRAs) focus mostly on asset damages. Yet, poor ... -
Sponge cities and sustainable drainage systems: sharing best practice in China and the UK
(2021)Flooding from rivers, surface water and the sea is a major hazard in many cities of the world and is expected to increase in the future due to climate change. With funding from the UK-China Urban Flooding Research Impact ... -
The failure probability of grass erosion due to wave overtopping. A case study of the Afsluitdijk, The Netherlands
(2021)Wave overtopping is one of main failure mechanism of flood protective structures. Experiments and numerical simulations have shown that transitions are weak spots for cover erosion. Transitions in geometry and in bed ... -
The four components to combine flood protection with other functions
(2021)Multifunctional flood defence systems combine flood defence functions with elements in the flood protection zone that fulfil other functions like nature, housing or agriculture. The wide range in possible combinations of ... -
The new French regulation on flood protection works: consequences on risk management
(2021)Following recent catastrophic floods, France issued in 2007 a first regulation on the safety of dams and levees. In 2014 a new competence has been attributed to local authorities: the management of aquatic environments and ... -
The potential of reservoirs for both flood control and irrigation in the Sebou River (Morocco)
(2021)Protecting the population and property against floods is one of the Moroccan National Water Plan priorities. Indeed, based on the National Flood Protection Plan established in 2002 and updated in 2017, 1,032 vulnerable ... -
The use of historic flood events to reduce uncertainty in future flood frequency predictions: a bootstrap method
(2021)Flood frequency relations are generally highly uncertain for large return times due to the relatively short data set of annual maximum discharges. This extrapolation uncertainty can be decreased by extending the data set ... -
The Vulnerability of Damaged River and Lake Dikes for Wave Overtopping
(2021)Wave overtopping results in erosion of grass-covered flood defenses which can result in a dike breach. Damages to the dike cover decrease the cover strength and simultaneously increase the hydraulic load on the dike cover. ... -
The “Flood Damage Models” repository
(2021)Flood damage assessment is a quite recent topic in flood risk management, nevertheless, several tools are now available for flood damage estimation which are characterised by different levels of robustness and reliability, ...
