| Summary: | Flooding is among the most serious and dangerous of all global risks, causing loss of life and
damage to property, livelihoods, and economies. Flooding is also likely to intensify in the
coming decades due to climate change. Additionally, economic growth and urbanisation are
putting more and more assets and people into flood-prone areas. Flood depth maps are critical
tools used to assess the potential impacts of flooding on communities, infrastructure, and the
economy. This FYP will explore how variations in flood depth estimations across different maps
can influence the severity of losses in various sectors (Residential, Commercial, Industrial,
Primary, Public) resulting from floods in Laos. Furthermore, this study will also explore the
losses incurred across provinces in Laos. |
