Flood Risk 2
Flood Risk 2 : Disaster Management. Flood risk is the likelihood of consequence of inundation within an identified area, given a specified climate condition, land use condition, and flood management system (existing or planned) in place. The consequence may be direct or indirect economic cost, loss of life, environmental impact, or other specified measure of flood effect. Flood risk is a function of the following components: (a) Loading, which is the frequency and magnitude of flooding; (b) Performance of flood management measures; (c) Exposure and vulnerability, which are the relationship between the flood hazard (rising or flowing water) and its effect on life loss, property, and/or environmental resources; (d) Consequence. Therefore, flood management actions may reduce risk by changing loading, performance, exposure, vulnerability, or consequence
