Wright, Daniel B.2015-11-172015-11-172015https://hdl.handle.net/10986/22982This technical note provides an overview for authorities who wish to conduct flood hazard and risk assessments and who must develop a step-by-step plan for carrying out the assessment that is appropriate and feasible in the local context. It is important to keep in mind, however, that many aspects of flood hazard and risk assessment requires specific expertise and experience. It is not advisable to conduct these assessments if your team lacks this experience, and this technical note does not provide specific guidelines, which can vary dramatically depending on local and regional conditions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOFLOODINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSRISKSHYDROGRAPHDISCHARGE HYDROGRAPHCALIBRATIONLARGE RIVERSTORMFLOOD-PRONE AREASEARLY WARNINGENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONTYPE OF DISASTERFLOOD FLOWRISK REDUCTIONSTORMSDISCHARGEFLOW DEPTHFLOOD DEFENCEHYDROLOGYRESERVOIRSFLOOD HAZARDSHYDROLOGIC PROCESSESCHANNELSFLOOD MANAGEMENTDISASTERDAMAGESDISASTER REDUCTION INITIATIVESWATER DEPTHHEAVY RAINFALLINFORMATION SYSTEMSWATER RESOURCESMAJOR FLOODSEDIMENTFLOOD HAZARDFLOOD INFORMATIONLAKE BEDSWEATHER RADARBASINSFLOODSFLOOD DURATIONFLOODEDLARGE FLOODSDEEP WATERWATERNATURAL HAZARDFLOOD MITIGATIONFLOOD PRONE AREASRAINFALL INTENSITYNATURAL DISASTERSWATER LEVELRAINFALLURBAN FLOODHYDRAULIC MODELINGDISASTERSFLOOD INUNDATIONCOASTAL FLOODEMERGENCY RESPONSEFLOOD STAGELANDSLIDESMODELINGPRECIPITATIONRUNOFFRAINFALL DATALAND USEFLOOD WARNINGSFLOOD INSURANCETECHNOLOGYFLOODPLAINSEMERGENCYWATERSHEDSDISASTER REDUCTIONRIVER CHANNELCLIMATE CHANGEDISASTER RISKGEOLOGYBANKENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSFLOOD DAMAGE ESTIMATIONFLOOD DAMAGEFLOOD FREQUENCYRETAINING WALLSURBAN AREASDAMAGEFLOOD RISKSFLOOD RISKRAINFALL MEASUREMENTSRIVERSHYDROLOGISTSHYDROLOGIC ANALYSISLARGE RIVERSRISK MANAGEMENT PROJECTSFLOODIMPACTS OF FLOODSFLOOD WATERBATHYMETRYRAINFALL FREQUENCYINSURANCEHYDRODYNAMIC MODELEROSIONFLOOD DEPTHRETURN PERIODFLOOD VULNERABILITYHYDROLOGIC MODELSWATERSHEDRISKGROUNDWATEREXTREME RAINFALLESTUARIESWARNING SYSTEMSHYDROGRAPHSRAINFALL EVENTFLOOD CONDITIONSFATALITIESFLOOD CONTROLEMERGENCY MANAGEMENTDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONRAINSOILSFLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAMFLOOD DAMAGE CURVEFLOOD STAGESEVACUATIONFLOOD RISK ASSESSMENTFLOOD FLOWSWATER LEVELSSAFETYPEAK DISCHARGECOASTAL FLOODINGFLOOD CHARACTERISTICSNATURAL HAZARDSRISK ASSESSMENTEMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIONSCHANNELReportWorld Bank10.1596/22982
