Flash floods have been recognized as one of the most damaging, costly and frequently occurring natural disasters around the world. They cause enormous economic and human losses. Recent studies increasingly show that such events may become more …
Social scientists have a long history of documenting disasters and natural extreme events’ behavioural response through the collection of perishable post-event data (Gruntfest 1977; Quarantelli and Dynes, 1977; Stalling, 1987; Quarantelli, 1997, …
The presented research focuses on studying the human-flood interactions during a flooding event and finding the critical factors that play an important role in regional evacuations in the Southern Sagaing Region in Myanmar, by using agent-based …

Floods are one of the most frequently occurring weather related disasters, which affected more than 2.3 billion people worldwide and caused the highest amount of financial losses ($662 billion) over the last two decades (CRED and UNISDR, 2015). Flash floods have rapid onset which provides only few hours between rainfall and flooding and hence short time for warning which leads to the majority of flood casualties around the world. Flash floods are usually very localized in time and space, they occur suddenly and are difficult to forecast with accuracy which can leave people without warning.
Integrated flood risk management involves a large portfolio of options for mitigating risks that include hard (engineered methods such as dams and flood-ways) and soft structural (nature based such as wetland protection, upper watershed restoration …
Developed a hydraulic model and an Agent-Based Model (ABM) based on geospatial..
Floods are one of the most deadly weather related hazards and frequently have devastating impact economically and on the loss of human lives. For the mitigation of consequences of such events, communication plays an important role. This is an era of …
