Risk assessment of floods on infrastructure system
Flood damage assessment and mitigation is essential for flood prone countries. Worldwide damages contribute to tangible and intangible damages that need to be assessed before and after a flood event. Derivation of damage-curves is important for damage assessment and parameters should be taken approp...

Flood damage assessment and mitigation is essential for flood prone countries. Worldwide damages contribute to tangible and intangible damages that need to be assessed before and after a flood event. Derivation of damage-curves is important for damage assessment and parameters should be taken appropriately to suit each country. Flood damage assessment also helps in cost-benefit analysis for mitigation methods. Localized mitigation methods of structural and non
structural form should be taken into consideration for a holistic approach to effective flood management. An analysis of Chiang Mai, Thailand, based on a case study of Bangkok, Thailand, is carried out to demonstrate the importance of both damage assessment and also mitigation measures in reducing flood losses. |
