This interactive session aims to bridge the gap between science, engineering, and practice in the modeling and operational forecasting of flooding events, techniques for flood warning and communication, and system analysis approaches for adaptive management of flood risks in an uncertain and changing world. We welcome innovative research and applications that address (i) advances in flood modelling, impact-based forecasting, and flood control strategies, (ii) implementation of communication systems, warning systems, and response measures at local, regional and national scales, (iii) innovative methods for real-time floodwater observation, novel data analytics and crowdsourcing techniques, and community attitude and behaviors for mitigation and flood hazard control, (iv) advances in inundation techniques integrating key hydraulic, hydrodynamic, remote sensing, and new modeling/monitoring approaches, and (iv) techniques for improving flood resilience in various communities stressed by a changing climate and aging flood control infrastructure. Contributions from early-stage researchers, students, women, and minorities are especially welcome.
