Flood Risk Analysis and Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

The Water Law defines flood risk as the combination of the probability of a flood event and the potential adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with a flood event. Flood protection is the task of the government and self-government administration bodies assisted by water users. Protection against floods is performed by taking flood hazard maps, flood risk maps and flood risk management plans into account through, e.g., a multi-index evaluation of flood disasters, building ANN-Based Regional Multi-Step-Ahead Flood models, using a response curve approach, sketch maps, a cloud-model-based method for risk assessment, the application of a Bayesian approach to dynamic assessments of floods, and a parametric distance function approach. For their preparation, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary flood risk assessment, taking the method of calculating the value of potential flood loss in individual classes of land use into account, for the purpose of developing flood risk maps.
