Short summary
The assessment of flood risk is important for policymakers to evaluate flood damage and for disaster preparation. Large population densities and high property concentration make cities more vulnerable to floods and have higher damage per year. In Japan, about one billion USD in damage occurs annually due to floods related to rainfall only. In this paper, we report a damage occurrence probability function and a damage cost function for pluvial flood damage to estimate annual flood damage.
The assessment of flood risk is important for policymakers to evaluate flood damage and for...
