This report describes the nontechnical aspects of four methodologies to aid in the design and evaluation of flood warning and preparedness systems. The methodologies include: (1) integration of structural measures and flood warning and preparedness, (2) multiobjective decision tree analysis; (3) performance characteristics, and (4) selection of an optimal flood warning threshold. Each methodology is intended to demonstrate how flood warning and preparedness systems need to be evaluated as part ...
Each of the four methodologies developed in this report contributes an important dimension to risk-based evaluation of systems for flood damage reduction which is incomplete without accounting for both structural and nonstructural measures. The unifing theme of these results is that the design and evaluation of structural and nonstructural measures for flood mitigation, including flood warning and preparedness systems, is an integrative, holistic process that eventually must build on an ...
