Abstract
As the frequency and impact of floods increase, real-time systems for assessing and sharing flood risk and mitigation information are becoming increasingly important for supporting stakeholder engagement, decision-making, and public awareness. This study presents a web-based framework developed to improve access to and use of flood-related information for risk and mitigation assessment. Built on HydroLang, the framework includes a modular analysis library for evaluating and communicating flood risks and mitigation options. It supports the acquisition and visualization of flood damage data and provides tools for exploring mitigation strategies across different flooding scenarios and vulnerable regions. The system is designed with scalability in mind, enabling use by a range of users, including municipal planners and system developers. We demonstrate the framework's application through case studies that highlight its integration capabilities and practical utility in flood risk management workflows.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international.
Key topics:-
-multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters
-the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques
-discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels
-disasters associated with climate change
-vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends
-emerging risks
-resilience against disasters.
The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
