With the recognition that it is not possible to protect from all floods, innovative ways need to be found to manage the associated risks and likely consequences. The overall objective of Task 10 within this Theme is to focus research efforts on innovative methods to understand, model and evaluate socio-economic and ecological flood damages; this report presents the results of key research from four projects (Activities) conducted under Task 10 of the FLOODsite project. These reports are: 1. Building a model to estimate Risk to Life for European flood events (project document T10- 07-10) 2. Modelling the damage-reducing effects of flood warnings (project document T10-07-12) 3. Toxic Stress: the development and use of the OMEGA modelling framework in a case study (project document T10-07-14) 4. GIS-based Multicriteria Analysis as Decision Support in Flood Risk Mangement (project document T10-07-06). Each of these Activities comprises a separate, and substantial, research project in its own right encompassing the use of different disciplines and approaches and different teams of researchers. Detailed Milestone reports have been produced for each of the Activities. These reports should be referred to for full accounts of the individual research projects, including full literature reviews, research methodologies, results and discussions. The research covered in this Deliverable report encompasses research on socio-economic and ecological evaluation and modelling methodologies focusing on risk receptors, that is: people, buildings and the environment. Activity 1 focuses very much on the social impacts and damages – those to human life and health. The emphasis in Activity 2 is largely on assessing economic and financial damages and the benefits of flood warning systems. Activity 3 focuses specifically on ecological damages to the natural environment, including habitats and species. Finally, Activity 4 focuses on developing a multi-criteria approach to evaluation of various types of flood damages, which can include those addressed within the other Activities, thus drawing together the diverse elements of the research Task. The research objectives also directly relate to the European Directive on the Assessment and Management of Flood Risks (EU 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007), in particular with reference to Articles 1, 4, 6 and 7. The overall combined results from the research should lead to a better understanding and quantification of flood impacts and therefore the provision of evaluation methodologies, techniques and approaches to guide end-users in decisions on levels of investment, preparedness planning and emergency response strategies in future flood risk management across Europe.

  • Geographies of Ageing and Disaster: Older People’S Experiences of Post- Disaster Recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand
    Geographies of ageing and disaster: older people’s experiences of post- disaster recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand Submitted by Sarah Tupper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography In April 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract It was 12:51pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand’s South Island. This earthquake devastatingly took the lives of 185 people and caused widespread damage across Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Since the February earthquake there has been 15,832 quakes in the Canterbury region. The impact of the earthquakes has resulted in ongoing social, material and political change which has shaped how everyday life is experienced. While the Christchurch earthquakes have been investigated in relation to a number of different angles and agendas, to date there has been a notable absence on how older people in Christchurch are experiencing post-disaster recovery. This PhD research attends to this omission and by drawing upon geographical scholarship on disasters and ageing to better understand the everyday experiences of post-disaster recovery for older people. This thesis identifies a lack of geographical attention to the emotional, affective and embodied experience of disaster.

  • Modelling Elevations, Inundation Extent and Hazard Risk for Extreme Flood Events
    Modelling elevations, inundation extent and hazard risk for extreme flood events by Davor Kvo čka A thesis submitted to Cardiff University in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cardiff, 2017 Dedicated to my parents Marija Čoli ć and Milenko Kvočka i Abstract Abstract Climate change is expected to result in more frequent occurrences of extreme flood events, such as flash flooding and large scale river flooding. Therefore, there is a need for accurate flood risk assessment schemes in areas prone to extreme flooding. This research study investigates what flood risk assessment tools and procedures should be used for flood risk assessment in areas where the emergence of extreme flood events is possible. The first objective was to determine what type of flood inundation models should be used for predicting the flood elevations, velocities and inundation extent for extreme flood events. Therefore, there different flood inundation model structures were used to model a well-documented extreme flood event. The obtained results suggest that it is necessary to incorporate shock-capturing algorithms in the solution procedure when modelling extreme flood events, since these algorithms prevent the formation of spurious oscillations and provide a more realistic simulation of the flood levels. The second objective was to investigate the appropriateness of the “simplification strategy” (i.e. improving simulation results by increasing roughness parameter) when used as a flood risk assessment modelling tool for areas susceptible to extreme flooding. The obtained results suggest that applying such strategies can lead to significantly erroneous predictions of the peak water levels and the inundation extent, and thus to inadequate flood protection design.

  • The Impact of Flood Risk on the Price Of
    The Impact of Flood Risk on the Price of Residential Properties: The Case of England Philippe Bélanger & Michael Bourdeau-Brien 1 Department of Finance, Insurance and Real Estate, Université Laval Email: [email protected] [email protected] Areas / Paper type – Change and Risk - Issues for Property Valuation work? ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of flood risk on the value of England residential properties. We find that being located within a flood zone significantly lowers property values once we control for the proximity to a watercourse that often increases house prices. Interestingly, the effect of flood risk is predominantly associated with the post-2003 period which can be rationalized by changes in insurance practices and availability of detailed information on flood zones. Moreover, people in richer areas appear to better incorporate available flood risk data while people in poorer areas seem to associate flood risk with proximity to the water.

According to a 2015 study from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization1, natural disasters caused more than $1.5 trillion in damage 2 and 1.1 million deaths worldwide between 2003 and 2013. These numbers may yet get worse because of global warming that tends to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (Francis and Vavrus, 2012, Rahmstorf and Coumou, 2011, Douglas et al., 2010, Kazmierczak and Bichard, 2010, Thorne et al., 2007).

  • Battle for the Floodplains
    Battle for the Floodplains: An Institutional Analysis of Water Management and Spatial Planning in England Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Karen Michelle Potter September 2012 Abstract Dramatic flood events witnessed from the turn of the century have renewed political attention and, it is believed, created new opportunities for the restoration of functional floodplains to alleviate the impact of flooding on urban development. For centuries, rural and urban landowning interests have dominated floodplains and water management in England, through a ‘hegemonic discourse alliance’ on land use development and flood defence. More recently, the use of structural flood defences has been attributed to the exacerbation of flood risk in towns and cities, and we are warned if water managers proceeded with ‘business as usual’ traditional scenarios, this century is predicted to see increased severe inconveniences at best and human catastrophes at worst. The novel, sustainable and integrated policy response is highly dependent upon the planning system, heavily implicated in the loss of floodplains in the past, in finding the land for restoring functioning floodplains. Planners are urged to take this as a golden opportunity to make homes and businesses safer from flood risk, but also to create an environment with green spaces and richer habitats for wildlife. Despite supportive changes in policy, there are few urban floodplain restoration schemes being implemented in practice in England, we remain entrenched in the engineered flood defence approach and the planner’s response is deemed inadequate. The key question is whether new discourses and policy instruments on sustainable, integrated water management can be put into practice, or whether they will remain ‘lip-service’ and cannot be implemented after all.

  • How Can River Flooding Be Managed?
    How this guide works... This revision guide is the Restless Earth revision and question guide and it gives you a full and detailed guide of everything you’re expected to know, and previous assessment questions too – fun right? Remember – everything in this booklet (along with the other five!) you need to know about, and we’ve already done at least once in class. The activities I’ve included in this book will help you, but are not exam questions, they are designed to encourage you to get thinking about revision / do revision! You should therefore attempt all the exam questions from this book as you go along to really help you. The symbol to the right tells you it is an exam question. If you should lose this booklet (naughty you), then you can easily download and print off a new copy from the year 11 study support and homework section of the CTS website. They are also available from the swish revision hub board outside of the geography room. As always remember – you do them, I mark them, you respond / improve and then I remark. Put simply… There is no excuse for not having your revision / exam question books on you – or for not doing revision…ever. The next six pages are the best places to start they talk about what the exam will look like, what the exam board say you should know for this unit, a small guide to the types of questions there are on GCSE geography exams and how to answer them and finally a list of command words.
