Each year, floods cause an enormous amount of global economic and
social damage, impacting transportation systems, water supplies,
agriculture, and health. Response management to catastrophic floods
require increased measures involving integrated planning,
adaptation, and recovery strategies in order to protect against
human loss. Decision Support Methods for Assessing Flood Risk and
Vulnerability is a pivotal reference source that provides vital
research on the application of effective models and tools focused
on the diagnosis of vulnerability to flooding risks and evaluates
and measures the impact of floods on socio-economic wellbeing.
While highlighting topics such as hydrological events, soil
erosion, and flood vulnerability, this publication explores methods
of identifying appropriate adaptation strategies. This book is
ideally designed for researchers, students, academicians,
policymakers, government officials, and technology developers
seeking current empirical research findings to be used to improve
the overall understanding of the flood phenomenon.
