Flood risk and resilience: integrating models, methods and data to inform resilience-building at risk management scales

Session ID#: 82238

Session Description:
Floods affect more people than any other type of natural hazard; climate change is projected to increase the burdens imposed on lives and livelihoods. Science and practice have made progress providing information to address the challenge of flood risk at local and global scales. Global earth observation identifies the spatial extent of current and past flooding. Global and basin-scale models estimate future flood risks. Bottom-up analyses measure flood resilience of communities and households. Yet, integration across global-local scales with due consideration of socio-economic factors to better inform resilience-building at appropriate risk management scales remains a challenge. This session invites presentations showcasing innovative analyses addressing this gap, including ground-truthing global data and models with locally (crowd)sourced measurements of risk and resilience;  efforts for upgrading decision-support processes with global satellite and other data; and analyses for identifying risk responsibilities at scale through forensic examinations of socio-economic and hazard/climate change drivers of risk.
