“…In this study, vulnerability was analyzed based on exposure to five (5) climate-related disasters, namely typhoon, flood, drought, flash flood, and extreme cold. The study by Solin et al [38] assessed the household vulnerability to flood hazards in the six villages of the upper Myjava basin in Slovenia. They analyzed vulnerability using the three basic aspects of vulnerability, namely (1) susceptibility of the household's property to damage, (2) propensity of the household members to suffer physical and mental harm, (3) the household's ability to cope with the negative impacts of flood.…”

“…Thus, the development of VAF can complement the existing NDRRM framework by addressing the needs of the vulnerable groups in the community before, during, and after the disaster. Furthermore, the developed VAF addresses two important challenges identified in the impact assessments of the IPCC [38]. First, the VAF provides a comprehensive approach in comparing and aggregating disaster impacts across diverse sectors, population, and geopolitical units.…”

Development of Vulnerability Assessment Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction at Three Levels of Geopolitical Units in the Philippines

This study developed a comprehensive framework for vulnerability assessment as a tool to measure vulnerability at three levels of geopolitical units in the Philippines. This is a comprehensive multi-disaster framework that can provide information to a decentralized type of government system like the Philippines. The vulnerability assessment framework (VAF) that has been developed was anchored upon the IPCC model and used the integration of community-based monitoring system (CBMS) data, expert inputs, and a series of community-based activities such as consultative fora, focus group discussions, workshops, and risk reduction immersion activities. The developed VAF for the assessment of vulnerability indices (VIs) is a system framework composed of a vulnerability scoping diagram (VSD) and an expanded vulnerability assessment model (VAM). The VSD is composed of three dimensions (e.g., exposure, sensitivity, resiliency), seven identified hazards, with 26, 27, and 29 sub-indicators for household, barangay, and municipal levels, respectively. Measuring vulnerability can be an effective strategy for assessing the potential impact/s of natural disasters on society. The continuous occurrence of natural disasters in the Philippines requires enhancement of public understanding of vulnerability. This would provide transparent understanding and enhance community competency leading to the development of methodologies and tools to assess various factors and indicators of vulnerability. The information extracted from using the VAF and VSD are helpful to the local government units, especially in preparing budgets, strategies, and programs for disaster risk reduction.

“…The first step towards flood prevention is to map flood vulnerability [5,6]. In the present study, a map of flood vulnerability was prepared for application in a rural environment, using flood control attributes already adopted by other work groups [50], and a similar multi-criteria analysis [51].…”

“…The same holds for intensively tilled grounds, such as arable fields or pastures, as well as for managed woods. Therefore, the spatial distributions of urban and agricultural areas at the neighborhood of a river channel, and especially their dynamic changes over time can be the cause of frequent and often unexpected overflows with crop and property losses [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

In many regions across the planet, flood events are now more frequent and intense because of climate change and improper land use, resulting in risks to the population. However, the procedures to accurately determine the areas at risk in regions influenced by inadequate land uses are still inefficient. In rural watersheds, inadequate uses occur when actual uses deviate from land capability, and are termed environmental land use conflicts. To overcome the difficulty to evaluate flood vulnerability under these settings, in this study a method was developed to delineate flood vulnerability areas in a land use conflict landscape: the Batatais municipality, located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The method and its implementation resorted to remote sensed data, geographic information systems and geo-processing. Satellite images and their processing provided data for environmental factors such as altitude, land use, slope, and soil class in the study area. The importance of each factor for flood vulnerability was evaluated through the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). According to the results, vast areas of medium to high flood vulnerability are located in agricultural lands affected by environmental land use conflicts. In these areas, amplified flood intensities, soil erosion, crop productivity loss and stream water deterioration are expected. The coverage of Batatais SP municipality by these vulnerable areas is so extensive (60%) that preventive and recovery measures were proposed in the context of a land consolidation–water management plan aiming flood control and soil and water conservation.

Main aim of the paper was inundation 2D modeling of gravel-bed and lateral dynamic Topľa River in flysch Western Keywords: Topľa River, HEC RAS, inundation, morphology ÚvodVýskum v oblasti povodňového rizika a brehovej erózie vodných tokov a ich manažmentu púta stále väčšiu pozornosť tak zo strany vedeckej komunity ako aj širokej verejnosti. Hlavným faktorom, ktorý zvyšuje potrebu dôkladnejšie sa venovať povodňovému riziku a zmenám morfológie vodných tokov, sú klimatické zmeny. Očakáva sa zmena v prejavoch počasia, ktoré bude mať omnoho extrémnejší priebeh a následky. Okrem častejších a dlhších periód sucha počas roka, sú očakávané dažde, ktoré v kratších časových úsekoch prinesú viac atmosférických zrážok (IPCC, 2014, Damborská et al., 2016. Druhým dôvodom pre výskum povodňového rizika a efektu brehovej erózie sú zmeny vo využívaní zeme, ktoré ovplyvňujú tvorbu odtoku v povodí. Nižší podiel lesných plôch s vysokou retenčnou kapacitou alebo nevhodné obhospodarovanie pôdy vedúce k nízkej infiltračnej kapacite pôdy, vedú k rýchlejšiemu odtoku vody z povodia (cf. Valent a kol., 2017). Nadmerné množstvo nepriepustných plôch v intraviláne zabraňuje akémukoľvek vsakovaniu. Ďalším faktorom vplývajúcim na povodňové riziko sú zmeny v morfológií riečnych korýt a pririečneho priestoru. Regulácia korýt vodných tokov, v podobe narovnávania, priamo vplýva na zvýšenie rýchlosti prúdenia vody a taktiež aj na transport sedimentov (Wyžga, 1993). Takto vzniká vyššie povodňové riziko na nižších častiach vodného toku a zároveň potreba budovania ďalších protipovodňových opatrení.
