Web and App-based management of flood emergency plans at local entities level
(2021)Different types of floods are frequently causing important economic and personal damages in a variety of locations within Navarre, a region located in northern Spain. Navarre is found very close to the Cantabrian sea, but ... -
Uncertainty estimate of flood hazard for an extreme flood
(2021)Hydrodynamic models are usually calibrated from historical events observations and then used for estimating the flood hazard for more extreme floods. In such a case, the uncertainty related to the calibration process is ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
How about the dikes? Managed realignment in progress at the Hedwige-Prosperpolder
(2021)Managed realignment is the landward relocation of a primary flood defence line. Because of this relocation, former land re-inundates, intertidal habitats can restore and new foreshores can develop adjacent to relocated ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Managing drought effects on levees in England and The Netherlands
(2021)Until quite recently, drought-related risks to levees received relatively little attention in The Netherlands and England, despite the fact that hot and dry summer periods became more common since about 1989, with 2003 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
How does culture affect individual adaptation to climate-driven floods?
(2021)Expanding human developments and climate change have exacerbated the impact of natural hazards worldwide. In particular, accelerating flood risks entails that more traditional top down measures are complimented by individual ... -
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, ... -
People, not just places: Expanding social vulnerability indices by social-psychological factors
(2021)Damage and disruption caused by floods do not just arise from the characteristics of physical structures, but also from the characteristics of residents inhabiting these structures. Social vulnerability studies typically ... -
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 ...
