FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT
Assessment of the flood risk is a complex problem that can only be solved through interdisciplinary research. A two-step approach has been adopted. First it was needed to characterize the flood hazard using a selected set of indicator maps, like the spatial distribution of flow velocity, water height, speed of propagation, duration, etc. The second step was to estimate how the flood hazard indicators interfere with human activities in the flooded area. Agricultural activities will suffer damage in different ways than for instance an industrial zone or an urban area. Also aspects of civil protection need to be considered, like when people need to be evacuated and which transportation lines are still available in the inundated area.
