This report describes a stepwise approach for developing such products. The approach includes a suite of design tools as well as a practical case...

Socio-economic and ecological evaluation and modelling methodologies

Task 10 focuses on developing innovative methods to understand, model and evaluate socio-economic and ecological flood damages. The four main activities within the Task are: building a model to estimate risk to life modelling the damage-reducing effects of flood warnings toxic stress and use of the OMEGA modelling framework to predict...

Building a model to estimate Risk to Life for European flood events

A methodology has been developed to estimate loss of life from flood events. In order to reduce the risk to life it is necessary to understand the causes of loss of life in floods and what kind of intervention and flood risk management measures may be effective in eliminating or reducing these losses. Data on flood events were gathered from 25...

Guideline for ex-post evaluation of measures and instruments in flood risk management

Effective risk reduction requires the optimal understanding of the causes of risk, options of risks reduction and ways of their implementation. Especially with regard to risk reduction options much has changed in recent decades. Many measures and instruments, which are the actual tools of risk reduction, have developed to reduce risk in various...
