Flood Risk Metric
Flood risk is usually given as the product of 3
factors (see Varnes al. per la IAEG Commission
on Landslides, Landslide Hazard Zonation - a
review of principles and practice. UNESCO,
Paris, 1984) R  H E V with R denoting il flood
risk, as ranked from moderate to very high, e.g.
from R1 to R2, R3 and R4. H is a measure of
Natural Hazard, as given, e.g., by the
probability of occurrence of flood magnitude
(usually represented by the peak flow). For
example, probabilities of 0.02, 0.01, 0.005 and
0.002, are associated with return periods of 50,
100, 200 and 500 years, respectively. E is a
measure of Exposure, e.g. the potential damage
to people and structure in the floodplain, as
weighted from 0 to 1. V is a measure of
Vulnerability, i.e. the resistance of the
system to respond to the flood load, as
weighted from 0 to 1.

Topographic Methods
Assumption 1 infinite levees, confined steady
flow into the levees, countur level crossing the
transect
Assumption 2 effective levees, undetected
flow, countur level crossing the transect
Assumption 3 steady flow occurring in both the
river cross-section and the floodplain
9
Topologic Method
flow paths are followed downsteam starting from
the overflooding river site, based on
geopotential (contour lines or raster)
10
Mass Balance Method

Uncertainty Probabilistic Framework
  • In Flash-flood Prone Areas with
  • high susceptibiliy to flood occurrence,
    including soil slip, debris flow and woody debris
    processes produced by high intensity storms with
    short duration, and
  • high gradient of the growth curve describing the
    exceedence probability of peak flow (e.g. small k
    for the GEV distribution)
  • one should consider relatively low return periods
    of the hydrological scenario (e.g. 20, 100 and
    300 years for high, moderate and low hazard,
    respectively).
  • The 20-yrs, 100-yrs and 300-yrs are associated
    with exceedence probability of 5, 1 e 30/00,
    respectively.
  • In Flood-Prone Areas with
  • low susceptibily to flood occurrence, mainly
    associated with indundation only, and
  • low gradient of the growth curve describing the
    exceedence probability of peak flow (e.g. k close
    to zero for the GEV distribution)
  • one should consider high return periods of the
    hydrological scenario (e.g. 50, 200 and 500
    years for high, moderate and low hazard,
    respectively)
  • The 50-yrs, 200-yrs and 500-yrs are associated
    with exceedence probability of 2, 50/00 e 30/00,
    respectively.

  • damage to buildings and other infrastructures
  • people instability
  • mobilisation of vehicles and other objects in the
    flood plain

  • human stability
  • vehicle mobilisation
  • empirical
  • hydrodynamic
  • thresholds for conditional hazard evaluation

allowed nor renewal of ancient buildings
