“…Floods can become disastrous when they cause significant material damage and loss of life [6]. In affected areas, an important step in flood risk management includes the prevention and minimization of financial losses [7], but also the development of innovative financial mechanisms and instruments that a central public administration can adopt in particularly exposed regions [8,9].…”

The present study is part of the context in which Romania adopted the European Parliament Directive 2007/60/EC on flood risk assessment and management. Therefore, the aim of this research is to assess the risk induced by a hydrological hazard, expressed by a financial value estimation, for the Turcu River in the northern sector of the Bran–Dragoslavele transcarpathian corridor (Romania), an important tourist axis where the pressure on land has increased considerably. As a result, the intra-village areas of Moieciu de Sus, Cheia, Moieciu de Jos, Bran and Tohanu Nou have also expanded into areas vulnerable to flooding. There are currently no studies on the areas potentially affected as well as the extent of the possible damage. For this reason, we proceeded to model the water level corresponding to the maximum flow value with a probability exceeding 1%, using HEC-RAS and ArcGIS software. The results of the implementation of the spatial analysis model resulted in the delineation of the floodplain and the assessment of the potential financial loss related to the minimum market value of the land with the related real estate infrastructures. The research reveals that in the 1% band area (78.7841 ha) with water depth > 0.5 m, more than 433 infrastructures are at high risk of flooding, most of them with high real estate value, i.e., 5.61 km of roads for which a cost of EUR 3,402,666.90 was calculated for restoration. A knowledge of financial vulnerability to flooding becomes important for the community; local authorities involved in making decisions for insuring real estate at risk and planning/managing investments work to prevent/combat the effects of flooding.

Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to flood risks, which are exacerbated by the changing climate. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on coastal flood risk assessment and resilience evaluation and proposes a smart-resilient city framework based on pre-disaster, mid-disaster, and post-disaster evaluations. First, this paper systematically reviews the origin of the resilience concept and the development of flood resilience. Next, it introduces the social-acceptable risk criteria and the flood resilience level for different flood phases. Then, a coastal flood resilience management system for smart cities is proposed, covering 3 phases of flood disasters (before, during, and after). Risk assessment is essential in pre-disaster scenarios because it provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential hazards and vulnerabilities of an area or system. Big data monitoring during disasters is an essential component of effective emergency management and response that can allow for more informed decisions and thus quicker, more effective responses to disasters, ultimately saving lives and minimizing damage. Data-informed loss assessments are crucial in providing a rapid, accurate understanding of post-disaster impact. This understanding, in turn, is instrumental in expediting recovery and reconstruction efforts by aiding decision-making processes and resource allocation. Finally, the impacts of climate change on the 3 phases of flood disasters are summarized. The development of more resilient coastal communities that are better equipped to withstand the impacts of climate change and adapt to changing environmental conditions is crucial. To address coastal compound floods, researchers should focus on understanding trigging factor interactions, assessing economic and social risks, improving monitoring and emergency response systems, and promoting interdisciplinary research with data openness. These strategies will enable comprehensive and holistic management of coastal flood risks in the context of climate change.
