Several scholars across the globe identified the present lack of
high quality damage data as the main constraint to efficient risk
mitigation. The need for a systematic collection of damage data in
the aftermath of flood events come into light, thus the aim being
the creation of complete and reliable databases. Flood damage data
collected in the aftermath of a disastrous event can support a
variety of actions, which include: (i) the identification of
priorities for intervention during emergencies, (ii) the creation
of complete event scenarios on the basis of which understanding the
fragilities of the flooded areas and tailoring risk mitigation
strategies, (iii) the definition of victims compensation schemes,
and (iv) the validation/definition of damage models to feed
cost-benefit analysis of structural and non-structural mitigation
actions (including insurance schemes). Volume highlights include: *
A good compilation of real world case studies elaborating on the
survey experiences and best practices associated with flood damage
data collection, storage and analysis, that can help strategize
flood risk mitigation in an efficient manner * Valuable
contributions covering different flooding phenomena such as
riverine and mountain floods, different spatial level of analysis
from local to global scales, and different stakeholders
perspectives, e.g. public decision makers, researchers, private
companies * Contributions from leading experts in the field,
researchers and practitioners, including civil protection actors
working at different spatial and administrative level, insurers and
professionals working in the field of natural hazards mitigation
Flood Damage Survey and Assessment: New Insights from Research and
Practice will be a valuable resource to all earth scientists,
hydrologists, meteorologists, geologists, geographers, civil
engineers, insurers and policy decision makers.
