(Bouwer, Climate change has been suggested to be a cause
Bubeck, & for increasing losses from extreme weather events.
Aerts, 2010) However, population growth, increases in wealth,
and accumulation of assets in areas at risk from
natural hazards have been found to be the main
underlying reasons up to now for increasing losses
from natural disasters.
(Ni, Sun, Li, This paper utilizes two important concepts:
Huang, & conventional insurance related flood risk for short-
Borthwick, term damage by specific flood events, and long-
2010) term flood impact on sustainability. The Insurance
Related Flood Risk index, IRFR, is defined as the
product of the Flood Hazard Index (FHI) and
Vulnerability. The damage by specific flood
events, and long-term flood impact on
sustainability. The Long-term Flood Impact on
Sustainability index, LFIS, is the ratio of the flood
hazard index to the Flood Risk index, Sustainable
Development Index (SDI).

(Norén, Flood is a natural hazard expected to become more

Hedelin, frequent with a changing climate.
Nyberg, & This view has been changing with an increasing
Bishop, 2016) under- standing that a flood disaster is the result of
interactions between the natural event and the
society that is affected. It is also clear that
traditional flood protection solutions may both fail
and cause other severe damage.(Norén et al., 2016)
Development of In defining flood risk as the product of
an integrated probability of occurrence and vulnerability, it is

(Lai, 2010) Flood is one of the main disasters, which cause rice
damage in many countries. We use the correlation
dimension (CD) and statistical correlation
dimension (SCD) to see that both of the time series
of flood and associated damages show the chaotic
behaviour. Finally, we also use the Hurst rescaled
range analysis to confirm the properties. The
results we found are useful in the risk estimate of
rice damaged due to flood.
Zhao et al., Urban flood is regarded as a type of flash flood,

 property (Smith, 2006). For example, flooding
caused by Hurricane Harvey
in the city of Houston (Texas, USA) in 2017 led
to thousands of homes flooded; the cost of
reconstruction was estimated to be as high as
$200 billion (BBC, 2017).(Zhao et al., 2019)

Lafont, Lenar- aggravating floods downstream. Secondly, the

are often disastrous. How to both protect citizens
from floods and biodiversity from flood-
management schemes is a hot issue
(Xu et al., Flooding is one of society's most devastating
2017) natural hazards, and predicting potential flood risk
is an important element of climate change
adaptation.
(Sado- The Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) from
Inamura & the Universiti Catholique de Louvain indicated that
Fukushi, floods accounted for 40% of disasters in 2015,
2019) affecting more than 27 million people and causing
more than $21 billion in losses. Therefore,
mitigating the im- pacts of unavoidable natural
disasters is necessary for efficient land utilization
and sustainable economic growth

D. De The terms “flood” and “flooding” are often used

Wrachien1, S. in different ways. According to “ICID” flood is “a
Mambretti & temporary condition of surface water (river, lake,
A. Sole3 sea) in which the water level and/or discharge
exceed a certain value, thereby escaping their
normal confines

Nikolic, 2015). floods are not just nature-related disasters;

space. Under certain conditions and influenced by
triggering
factors, they may cause loss of life, destroy
infrastructures
and properties, impede economic and social
activities and
cause destruction of cultural heritage monuments

(Thieken, Flood risk is defined as the probability that floods
Merz, of a given magnitude and a given loss will occur
Kreibich, & within a given time span. A complete flood risk
Apel analysis has to identify possible damage scenarios
(Thieken, (What can go wrong?), to estimate scenario
Merz, probabilities (How likely is it that it will
Kreibich, & happen?), and to assess the consequences (If it
Apel, 2006) does happen, what are the consequences?). The
results of flood risk analysis should be the basis
for identifying locations with significant flood
risk, and for deciding between flood mitigation
options (Thieken et al., 2006)

Academy The modern concept of flood risk is th

2013 combination of flood hazard, probability and
potential negative consequences of floods for
human health, economic activities, the envi-
ronment and cultural heritage. An assessment of
flood hazard is focused on the estimate of annual
maximum discharges for different nonexceedance
probabilities and establishment of the
corresponding flooding area and specific
parameters of flood (water level, flow velocity,
etc.)(Academy, 2013)

(Kazakis, Flood is a major natural hazard with often

Kougias, & immeasurable impact, affecting
Patsialis, Annually 170 million people . Therefore, flood
2015) risk management needs to overcome national
borders, geographic location and socio-economic
limitations. Flood risk management is usually
divided into flood risk assessment and flood risk
mitigation ,This distinction takes into account
apart from the hazard also its impact.(Kazakis et
al., 2015)
(Vu & Ranzi, Flooding is a very common environmental
2017) hazard, because of the widespread distribution
of river floodplains and low-lying coasts and the
importance they had on human settlement
throughout the history of mankind. Flooding
does not only affect normal everyday life but
also has negative effects on the environment
and on society as a whole, in terms of tangible
 and intangible losses and damage. Loss of life
in floods occurs mostly due to drowning or to
the spread of diseases.(Vu & Ranzi, 2017)

The flood hazard is described by the physical characteristics of
the flood events (e.g., extent and depth) with a probability of exceedance
or the associated return period(Oubennaceur, Chokmani, Nastev, Lhissou,
& El Alem, 2019)
