On Aug. 21, 2021, Waverly, Tennessee, received nearly one-third of its average annual rainfall in just a few hours—the resulting 17 inches of rain led to one of the deadliest flooding events on record ...

Researchers have developed a new simulation model, which can predict flooding during an ongoing disaster more quickly and accurately than currently possible. A new simulation model that can predict ...

This chapter provides a brief description of how floods are analyzed and floodplain maps constructed. It compares the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain mapping process with the ...

Flood inundation modelling encompasses a range of numerical and empirical approaches designed to simulate the spatial extent, depth and timing of floodwaters across riverine and urban environments. At ...
