Methods in Flood Hazard and Risk Assessment

Before a hazard assessment is carried out, it is necessary to determine which types of floods are most common or destructive in the area, because in most cases the selection of hazard and risk modeling methods will vary depending on the type of flood. Detailed specifications for flood hazard assessment can be found in (FEMA, 2003a).
