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. 517 $aFlood Risk Assessments 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $a112 emergency service 610 $aAHP 610 $aBhote Koshi 610 $abuilding first floor 610 $acalibrated thresholding 610 $aCastile and Leo?n 610 $acentral Spain 610 $acircumstances of loss of life 610 $aclimate change 610 $aclimate change prioritization 610 $aclimate model projections 610 $acultural heritage 610 $adamages 610 $adatabase 610 $adebris flow 610 $aEbro River 610 $aeconomic damage 610 $aeigenvector spatial filtering method 610 $aemergency management 610 $afatalities 610 $aflood damage uncertainty 610 $aflood defences 610 $aflood forecasting 610 $aflood hazard 610 $aflood management 610 $aflood mapping 610 $aflood risk 610 $aflood risk analysis 610 $aflood risk areas 610 $aflood risk assessment 610 $aflood risk assessments 610 $aflood risk evaluation 610 $aflood torrential dynamics 610 $aflood vulnerability 610 $afloods 610 $ageographic information systems 610 $ageomorphological threshold 610 $aglacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) 610 $aGorkha earthquake 610 $ahazard assessment 610 $ahistorical analysis 610 $ahydrological response 610 $alahar 610 $aland-use changes 610 $alandslides 610 $alevee breach 610 $alevee failures 610 $alocal analysis 610 $aLOESS model 610 $amagnitude-damage models 610 $ameso-scale 610 $aNavaluenga 610 $aopen public data sources 610 $aopen source 610 $apaleostage indicators 610 $apedestrians 610 $aPico de Orizaba 610 $apluvial floods 610 $aPoisson regression 610 $aPRICAM project 610 $aproperties 610 $aPyrenees 610 $aRADAR SAR 610 $aRAMMS program 610 $aReinosa 610 $aRGB composition 610 $arisk map calibration 610 $aSentinel-1 610 $aski resort 610 $asnow cover control 610 $aSpain 610 $aspatial autocorrelation 610 $aTagus Basin 610 $atree-ring analysis 610 $avehicles 610 $avulnerability cartography 610 $avulnerability indicators 610 $avulnerability of networks 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aDiez-Herrero$b Andres$4edt$01304746 702 $aGarrote$b Julio$4edt 702 $aDiez-Herrero$b Andres$4oth 702 $aGarrote$b Julio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557105103321 996 $aFlood Risk Assessments$93027690 997 $aUNINA
