In this contribution it is argued that the current challenge in flood damage research consists in developing
a better understanding of the interrelations and social dynamics of flood risk perception, preparedness,
vulnerability, flood damage and flood management,
and to take this into account in a modern design of flood damage analysis and flood risk management.
Accordingly, the sections of this contribution are organised
as follows: In the next section the relationship between flood damage, vulnerability and risk perception is analysed
and clarified. Section three deals with
state-of-the-art approaches to flood damage analysis.
The fourth section discusses the shortcomings of the current approaches with a special
focus on the disregard for socio-economic factors and methods.
Finally, the contribution concludes with an outlook, presenting current EU research efforts to improve state-of-the-art approaches to flood damage analysis.

Does the LiMWA impact flood insurance premiums?
No. The LiMWA currently has no bearing on flood insurance premium rates.
Zone AE areas that are both seaward and landward of the LiMWA will
be rated the same for flood insurance purposes. Is there a low-cost flood policy for
homes in moderate- to low-risk areas? Yes. A Preferred Risk Policy
provides both building and contents coverage for properties in moderate- to low-risk areas for one low price
as long as the property meets eligibility requirements
based on the building’s entire flood loss history.
I'm not in a high-risk area, but I'd like flood coverage.
Yes! You are eligible to purchase a flood policy with the same coverage you would receive if you lived in a high-risk area.
That is, of course, as long as your community participates in the NFIP.
The study included flood exposure analysis of population and residential properties for
all 985 Indigenous reserve lands of the six CSD types from the
total 5162 CSDs. Due to Statistics Canada’s confidentiality regulations concerning geographic and population thresholds for statistical output
vetting, the SVI scores were available for only 360
of the 985 Indigenous reserves. Considering a national scale socioeconomic vulnerability assessment of on-reserve Indigenous communities, the unavailability of microdata on remaining reserves may
underestimate or overestimate SVI scores. Hence, the results of relative
vulnerability scores across Indigenous reserves should be interpreted
carefully. The study analyzed undefended, flood-prone areas for three types of flood hazards:
fluvial (riverine and ice-jam overall), pluvial (intense precipitation-caused inundation of lands that are
not necessarily proximate to a body of water), and coastal (storm surge), as determined by
JBA Risk Management, a global, market-leading flood catastrophe modeling firm.
JBA Risk Management (JBA)’s 2018 flood hazard datasets (that is, Canada Flood
Maps at 30-meter horizontal resolution) were made available through a research partnership with the University of Waterloo.
These are hydraulic modelling (with GIS application)
of flood inundation, analysis of satellite images to determine different physical elements at risk and using quantitative
method (questionnaire survey) to gather information about flood damages to different types of physical risk elements
in the study area. The principal sources of floods in Bangladesh are the river floods from the major
river systems in the monsoon months. A broad strip of land
extending beyond the active river floodplains is subjected to
this type of flood. The northern and north-eastern trans-boundary hill streams are susceptible to flash floods from the adjacent hills
in India in the pre-monsoon months of April and May. Flash floods cause extensive damages to crop and
property, particularly in the haor (wetland) areas in the
northeast region (Brammer 1999). They cause massive damage to dry-season boro (rice variety) rice crop just before or at the time of
harvesting. Baniachong Upazila with an area of 482.25 km2 is
located in the Agro-ecological Zone-20: Eastern Surma-Kushiyara Floodplain.
