In the field of hydrology, event-based models are commonly used for flood-flow prediction in catchments, for use in flood forecasting, flood risk assessment, and infrastructure design. The models are simplistic, as they do not consider longer-term catchm...

This study applies three different methods to assess the flood risk and damage from the strongest high-pressure cold front (locally known as ?Norte?) event in terms of the residual tide from 30 years (1979?2008) of data for Progreso, Yucatan. The most im...

Losses due to floods have dramatically increased over the past decades, and losses of companies, comprising direct and indirect losses, have a large share of the total economic losses. Thus, there is an urgent need to gain more quantitative knowledge abo...

The modeling of flood damage is an important component for risk analyses, which are the basis for risk-oriented flood management, risk mapping, and financial appraisals. An automatic urban structure type mapping approach was applied on a land use/land co...

Every year, flood disasters are responsible for widespread destruction and loss of human life. Remote sensing data are capable of providing valuable, synoptic coverage of flood events but are not always available because of satellite revisit limitations,...
