Flood Mitigation Decision Tool for Target Repetitive Loss Properties in Jefferson Parish
… Orleans parishes, has been affected severely by floods. These two parishes have experienced fifteen significant flood events in twenty six years from 1978 to 2004, either due to tropical weather or strong rainfall events. Those floods have resulted in billions of dollars in damages. In 1996 the …

Flood damage reduction techniques for wastewater treatment facilities
… physical location, may be highly vulnerable to flooding. The implementation of flood proofing and flood damage reduction measures can reduce the economic losses and environmental impacts of a flood. Effective training and guidance is currently unavailable from the Virginia regulatory agencies. …

Application of open-access and 3rd party geospatial technology for integrated flood risk management in data sparse regions of developing countries
Floods are one of the most devastating disasters known to man, caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. The trend of flood events is continuously rising, increasing the exposure of the vulnerable populace in both developed and especially developing regions. Floods occur unexpectedly in …

Mechanisms governing avulsions in transient landscapes : analysis of the May 2006 Suncook River avulsion in Epsom, New Hampshire
… usually occur in environments such as deltas, floodplains, and alluvial fans where net-deposition can raise the bed of the river above its floodplain. Avulsions are less frequent in transient landscapes, such as New England, where topography and hydrography are still responding to recent …

Flood Capacity Improvement of San Jose Creek Channel Using HEC-RAS
… Pacific Ocean, has experienced several intense flood events as a result. The lower portion of the creek was diverted in 1960 to alleviate flooding through Old Town Goleta. However, flooding still occurred in the storms of 1995 and 1998. This study incorporates a hydraulic analysis component of a …

Mapping under uncertainity : spatial politics, urban development, and the future of coastal flood risk
Flooding is the most common and single largest source of disaster-caused property damage in the United States. The past year, 2017, was the costliest for weather and climate disasters in US history. To mitigate these losses, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and National Flood Insurance …

The Social Cascades of Exposure to Flood Induced Natech Events on Vulnerable Populations in Hampton Roads, Virginia
Coastal flood impacts are increasing in severity with the rising sea levels, causing damage to ecological and human systems. Climate-hazards may also result in cascading impacts, where an initial disaster sets off a chain of events that extends beyond the initial spatiotemporal point of impact. …

Annual Exceedance Probability Analysis
… (USACE) to determine the probability of flooding caused by the failure of a levee or other flood control structure. This method shows the probability of flooding only at one particular location at a time. In order to overcome the limitation of AEP, a new method of studying flood …

Evaluation of Adaptation Options to Flood Risk in a Probabilistic Framework
… than simply relying on traditional deterministic flood analyses (e.g., a Probable Maximum Flood) and therefore supports good engineering design practice. Type and quantity of available data is often a key factor in PRA at an early stage for determining the best methodology. However, implementation …

Probabilistic source-to-sink analysis of the provenance of the California paleoriver: implications for the early Eocene paleogeography of western North America
… the Colton-Wasatch Fm. is the endmember of a flood-dominated fluvial style. The Colton-Wasatch Fm. was deposited concomitantly with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a punctuated greenhouse climate change event associated with seasonal to flood and drought prone hydrology in mid-latitude …
