Flood risk assessment is a research area that focuses on studying and analyzing the potential risks and impacts of flooding on human communities, infrastructure, and the environment. This research typically involves evaluating factors such as topography, land use, weather patterns, and the capacity of drainage systems to predict the likelihood and severity of floods in a given area. By understanding the risks associated with flooding, researchers and policymakers can develop strategies for mitigating these risks and improving response and recovery efforts in the event of a flood event. Flood risk assessment plays a crucial role in disaster preparedness and resilience planning.
