Short summary

Recently, flash floods at some regions have occurred with very short duration less than 1 h. It is necessary to develop the criteria for deciding intuitively the flash flood occurrence with short duration. This article proposes quantitative criteria for flash flood warning that can be used to rapidly assess flash flood occurrence based on only rainfall estimates. The key advantage of this method is possible to issue flash flood warnings without running the entire hydrometeorological model.
