Abstract

Assessing flood risk is essential for disaster prevention and land-use planning. This study examines techniques employed in developed countries to identify areas susceptible to flooding. The evaluation emphasizes hydraulic and hydrological modeling methods, the combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with remote sensing data, and the impact of climate change on flood hazard evaluations. The integration of GIS, hydrodynamic modeling, and remote sensing enhances the precision of risk assessments and fosters sustainable management practices.
