Flooding claims many lives worldwide each year. In addition, many more lives are affected by homelessness, disease and crop failures as a result of floods destructiveness. The number of recent flood events, coupled with climate change predictions and urban development, suggests that these statistics are likely to worsen in the future. Flooding in populated areas can cause substantial property damage as well as threaten human life. Apart from the obvious physical damage to buildings and contents, and loss of life, there are other more indirect losses that are often overlooked. These intangible impacts are generally associated with disruption to normal life as well as longer term health issues, including stress-related illness. Containing papers from the third biennial conference on the subject, the book covers: Flood Risk Analysis; Flood Risk Management; Urban Flood Management; Flood Forecasting; Risk Assessment and Decision Making; Flood Case Studies; Community Resilience to Flooding; Energy Preparedness and Response; Critical Infrastructure Protection; Flood Consequence Assessment.
