This paper reviews state-of-the-art empirical, hydrodynamic and simple conceptual models
for determining flood inundation. It explores their advantages and limitations, highlights the …

Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Detecting the adverse effects of major emergencies on financial markets and real economy
is of great importance not only for short-term policy reactions but also for economic and …

One-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional hydraulic freeware models (HEC-RAS,
LISFLOOD-FP and FLO-2d) are widely used for flood inundation mapping. These models …

Urban pluvial flooding is a global challenge that is frequently caused by the lack of available
infiltration, retention and drainage capacity in cities. This paper presents RUFIDAM, an …

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 …

With the recent transition to a more risk-based approach in flood management, flood risk
models—being a key component in flood risk management—are becoming increasingly …

There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A
better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The …

Flood disaster mitigation strategies should be based on a comprehensive assessment of the
flood risk combined with a thorough investigation of the uncertainties associated with the risk …

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 …
