Nevertheless, there is still a shortage of scientific studies and practical experience of real flood risk assessment (both social and economic), including hazard, exposure and vulnerability analyses and their integration. As there are so few references available, applications of flood risk assessment to the design of preventive measures and early warning systems, landscape and urban planning, civil protection, insurance systems, and risk-based information and education, cannot reach their full potential development. This is because the research products available, such as hazard data and maps, do not serve to ensure the efficient prioritization of mitigation measures or communities at risk. Meanwhile, flooding is the natural disaster that causes the greatest loss on a global scale, and due to climate change, this situation is expected to continue. The research manuscripts involved in this book try to offer flood risk managers new tools, data and maps to improve risk mitigation, both preventive and corrective. A wide variety of topics have been covered, including: flood risk data sources; techniques and methodologies for flood risk analysis; flood risk mapping; or flood risk analysis calibrations.Flood Risk Assessments Research & information: generalbicssc112 emergency serviceAHPBhote Koshibuilding first floorcalibrated thresholdingCastile and Leóncentral Spaincircumstances of loss of lifeclimate changeclimate change prioritizationclimate model projectionscultural heritagedamagesdatabasedebris flowEbro Rivereconomic damageeigenvector spatial filtering methodemergency managementfatalitiesflood damage uncertaintyflood defencesflood forecastingflood hazardflood managementflood mappingflood riskflood risk analysisflood risk areasflood risk assessmentflood risk assessmentsflood risk evaluationflood torrential dynamicsflood vulnerabilityfloodsgeographic information systemsgeomorphological thresholdglacial lake outburst flood (GLOF)Gorkha earthquakehazard assessmenthistorical analysishydrological responselaharland-use changeslandslideslevee breachlevee failureslocal analysisLOESS modelmagnitude-damage modelsmeso-scaleNavaluengaopen public data sourcesopen sourcepaleostage indicatorspedestriansPico de Orizabapluvial floodsPoisson regressionPRICAM projectpropertiesPyreneesRADAR SARRAMMS programReinosaRGB compositionrisk map calibrationSentinel-1ski resortsnow cover controlSpainspatial autocorrelationTagus Basintree-ring analysisvehiclesvulnerability cartographyvulnerability indicatorsvulnerability of networksResearch & information: generalDiez-Herrero Andresedt1304746Garrote JulioedtDiez-Herrero AndresothGarrote JulioothBOOK9910557105103321Flood Risk Assessments3027690UNINA
