Recent Applications of Flash Flood Hazard Assessment Techniques: Case Studies from Egypt and Saudi Arabia

Abstract: Flash floods are severe natural disasters due to their suddenness, frequency, and destruction. Every year, flash floods occur in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which are located in the heart of the Middle East. Extensive areas in Egypt and Saudi Arabia are covered by mountainous topography. Intense rainfall can generate flash floods with their magnitude dependent on geomorphology and storm characteristics. Flash flood hazard assessment is a feasible way to mitigate potential damage and losses. Illumination, review, a… Show more

“…In this study, multiple metrics were employed for this purpose, encompassing the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the Mean Square Error (MSE), the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and R-squared (R), which were utilized to appraise the effectiveness of both classifier and regression models. The mathematical expressions for these metrics are provided in Equation (4), Equation ( 5), Equation ( 6), and Equation (7), respectively.…”

“…Similarly, flash floods, characterized as sudden and swift inundations occurring within minutes or hours of intense rainfall, represent a distinct peril often linked to thunderstorms or tropical cyclones [6,7]. Moreover, many infrastructures located in regions prone to significant flooding could be damaged due to inadequate investigations and a deficiency in proactive mitigation measures, as indicated by Huang et al [8].…”
