Hydrometeorological events are highly costly and have strong impacts on the human‐
environment system. Effective response requires effective risk management concepts and …

The knowledge about potential flood damage is a key issue for disaster risk reduction.
However, the scarcity of empirical data has limited flood damage modelling in several …

To prepare for upcoming extreme events, decision makers, scientists and other stakeholders
require a thorough understanding of the vulnerability of the built environment to natural …

Effective flood risk management requires a realistic estimation of flood losses. However,
available flood damage estimates are still characterized by significant levels of uncertainty …

Nepal. Study focus To quantify the hazard and vulnerabilities across one of the frequently …

Landslides pose a devastating threat to human health, killing thousands of people annually.
Human vulnerability is a crucial element of landslide risk reduction, yet up until now, all …

Vulnerability analysis is crucial to assess natural hazard risk. Methods for vulnerability
assessment include indices as well as vulnerability curves. Vulnerability curves make use of …

Direct flood damage is commonly assessed using damage models (ie, vulnerability
functions and fragility curves), which describe the relationship between hazard, vulnerability …

Flood damage assessments provide critical insights on processes controlling building
damage and loss. Here, we present a novel damage assessment approach to develop an …

The use of different methods for physical flood vulnerability assessment has evolved over
time, from traditional single-parameter stage–damage curves to multi-parameter approaches …
