“…The first and simplest approach is to use some administrative areas as assessment areas: settlements, municipalities, provinces, counties, etc. This approach was used in the combined seismic and flood risk assessment for municipalities in the province of Ferrara [15].…”

“…The problem of the multi-hazard risk assessment is not just in designing a proper calculation to aggregate all hazard risks in one area [15,16], but also to take into account hazards' mutual correlation [9], since one hazard can trigger another one. For instance, fire is usually spread after earthquakes, and earthquakes can produce tsunamis, thus flooding the area.…”

The multi-hazard risk assessment of urban areas represents a comprehensive approach that can be used to reduce, manage and overcome the risks arising from the combination of different natural hazards. This paper presents a methodology for multi-hazard risk assessment based on Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision Making. The PROMETHEE method was used to assess multi-hazard risks caused by seismic, flood and extreme sea waves impact. The methodology is applied for multi-hazard risk evaluation of the urban area of Kaštel Kambelovac, located on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. The settlement is placed in a zone of high seismic risk with a large number of old stone historical buildings which are vulnerable to the earthquakes. Being located along the low-lying coast, this area is also threatened by floods due to climate change-induced sea level rises. Furthermore, the settlement is exposed to flooding caused by extreme sea waves generated by severe wind. In the present contribution, the multi-hazard risk is assessed for different scenarios and different levels, based on exposure and vulnerability for each of the natural hazards and the influence of additional criteria to the overall risk in homogenous zones. Single-risk analysis has shown that the seismic risk is dominant for the whole pilot area. The results of multi-hazard assessment have shown that in all combinations the highest risk is present in the historical part of Kaštel Kambelovac. This is because the historical part is most exposed to sea floods and extreme waves, as well as due to the fact that a significant number of historical buildings is located in this area.

“…They compare the efficacy of various response actions based on factors such as speed of response, responder safety, and affected population; (c) Outranking techniques-These techniques evaluate each alternative to every other option in terms of how well they fulfill each criterion in order to identify which possibilities "outrank" others [200]. Outranking techniques include, for example, the elimination and choice expressing reality (ELECTRE) approach and the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) [201]. Based on a range of criteria, such as accuracy, computational complexity, and data accessibility, these strategies are used to choose the optimal flood forecasting model [16,202]; (d) Distance-based methods-These methods involve calculating the distance between each option and an ideal solution, and then ranking the options based on these distances.…”

As one of nature’s most destructive calamities, floods cause fatalities, property destruction, and infrastructure damage, affecting millions of people worldwide. Due to its ability to accurately anticipate and successfully mitigate the effects of floods, flood modeling is an important approach in flood control. This study provides a thorough summary of flood modeling’s current condition, problems, and probable future directions. The study of flood modeling includes models based on hydrologic, hydraulic, numerical, rainfall–runoff, remote sensing and GIS, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and multiple-criteria decision analysis. Additionally, it covers the heuristic and metaheuristic techniques employed in flood control. The evaluation examines the advantages and disadvantages of various models, and evaluates how well they are able to predict the course and impacts of floods. The constraints of the data, the unpredictable nature of the model, and the complexity of the model are some of the difficulties that flood modeling must overcome. In the study’s conclusion, prospects for development and advancement in the field of flood modeling are discussed, including the use of advanced technologies and integrated models. To improve flood risk management and lessen the effects of floods on society, the report emphasizes the necessity for ongoing research in flood modeling.
