Flood risk modeling

Flood risk modeling is the process of predicting areas likely to experience flooding by analyzing factors like rainfall, terrain, river flow, and land use. It uses computer simulations and data to identify places at high, moderate, or low risk, helping communities plan and prepare. This modeling accounts for historical flood data and current conditions, enabling accurate assessment of potential flood impacts. The goal is to support decision-making for infrastructure design, insurance, emergency planning, and land development, ultimately reducing the damage and danger caused by flooding events.
