Abstract. Efficiently reducing natural hazard risks requires a thorough understanding of the costs hazards. Current methods to assess these employ variety terminologies and approaches for different types hazards impacted sectors. This may impede efforts ascertain comprehensive comparable cost figures. In order strengthen role assessments in development integrated management, review existing assessment was undertaken. considers droughts, floods, coastal Alpine hazards, examines types, namely...
Abstract. The European Union Floods Directive requires the establishment of flood maps for high risk areas in all member states by 2013. However, current practice mapping Europe still shows some deficits. Firstly, are frequently seen as an information tool rather than a communication tool. This means that, example, local stocks knowledge not incorporated. Secondly, contents often do match requirements end-users. Finally, designed and visualised way that cannot be easily understood residents...
Current approaches for assessing large‐scale flood risks contravene the fundamental principles of risk system functioning because they largely ignore basic interactions and feedbacks between atmosphere, catchments, river‐floodplain systems, socioeconomic processes. As a consequence, analyses are uncertain might be biased. However, reliable estimates required prioritizing national investments in mitigation or appraisal management insurance portfolios. We review several examples process...
Abstract The implementation of Natural Flood Management (NFM), as an example a nature‐based solution (NbS), is promoted risk reduction strategy to support sustainable flood management and climate change adaptation more widely. Additionally, NbS, NFM aims provide further multiple benefits, such increased biodiversity improved water quality well mental health. NbS often needs private‐owned or managed land, yet can create conflicts between the different stakeholders which undermine social...
Managing coastal risk at the regional scale requires a prioritization of resources along shoreline. A transparent and rigorous assessment should inform managers stakeholders in their choices. This advances modelling (e.g., consideration source pathway conditions to define probability occurrence, nonlinear dynamics physical processes, better recognition systemic impacts non-economic losses) open-source tools facilitating stakeholders' engagement process. paper discusses how Coastal Risk...
Abstract Hazard vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructures (CIs) is crucial for ranking based on their level criticality, enabling the urban managers to prioritize CIs allocating funds in hazard mitigation/recovery process. This study aims provide a framework rapid and preliminary flood by introducing methodology classifying according riverine flooding. An indicator‐based curve calculated both quantitatively (using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox MATLAB) qualitatively susceptibility–exposure...
The identification of “critical drainage areas” to quantify “hotspot” flood and pollution risks associated with extreme event urban surface runoff is central Stormwater Management Plans Water Framework Directive catchment planning. An innovative geographic information system‐based 1D–2D modeling analysis coupled a assessment tool described which addresses this methodological requirement. approach further integrates sustainable system (SUDS) called SUDSLOC provide stakeholder‐friendly water...
Coastal regions are the areas most threatened by natural hazards, with floods being frequent and significant threat in terms of their induced impacts, therefore, any management scheme requires evaluation. In coastal areas, flooding is a hazard associated various processes acting at different scales: storms, flash floods, sea level rise (SLR). order to address problem as whole, this study presents methodology undertake preliminary integrated risk assessment that determines magnitude flood...
The need to improve the urban drainage network meet recent growth and redevelopment of old industrial commercial areas provides an opportunity for managing surface water infrastructure in a more sustainable way. use systems (SUDS) can reduce flooding as well pollution impact discharges on receiving waters. However, these techniques are not yet known by many stakeholders involved decision-making process, or at least evidence their performance effectiveness may be doubted compared with...

Managing coastal flood risk at the regional scale requires a prioritisation of economic resources along shoreline. Advanced modelling assessment and open-source tools are now available to support transparent rigorous inform managers stakeholders in their choices. However, issues lay data availability richness estimate vulnerability impacts. The Coastal Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF) has been developed as part Resilience Increasing Strategies for Coasts - Toolkit (RISC-KIT) EU FP7 project....
Low-frequency high-impact storms can cause flood and erosion over large coastal areas, which in turn lead to a significant risk occupation, producing devastation immobilising cities even countries. It is therefore paramount evaluate along the coast at regional scale through identification of storm impact hotspots. The Coastal Risk Assessment Framework Phase 1 (CRAF1) screening process based on coastal-index approach that assesses potential exposure every kilometre previously identified...
