Even though climate change involves much more than warming, it is the name given to a set
of physical phenomena. It is a long-term change in weather patterns that characterises …

In the face of climate change, mapping flood vulnerability has become important. This is
because it helps to identify vulnerable people in particular communities and provides a …

This study aims at providing expertise for preparing public-based flood mapping and
estimating flood risks in growing urban areas. To model and predict the magnitude of flood …

Climate change is likely to affect the water cycle by influencing the precipitation patterns. It is
important to integrate the anticipated changes into the design of urban drainage in response …

Natural hazard terminologies with existing models of vulnerability, hazard, and risk are
presented in this chapter. A conceptual framework has been developed based on hazard …

This study focuses on drivers for changing urban flood risk. We suggest a framework for
guiding climate change adaptation action concerning flood risk and manageability in cities …

The process of urbanization has changed LULC patterns which have a strong influence on
flood risk and resulting economic losses from flood events. This study intends to assess the …

The dynamics of flood risk over Coastal Multi-hazard Catchments (CMC) exhibit bizarre
characteristics. In these regions, flood hazards are governed by a complex interaction of …

Across the globe, the damage caused by urban floods has increased manifold. The
unchecked development has encroached the natural drainage, and the conventional …

This report examines social vulnerability, how it might be understood in the context of natural
hazards in Europe, and how social vulnerability can be addressed to increase social …
