3 Context 3
4 Generalities on flood risk Flood risk management (reduction of overall losses) Decision-making process: cost/benefit and multi-criteria analysis... Flood damages in France 1/3 of municipalities concerned. flood losses represent 80 % of damages associated to natural hazards (250 M per year in average) Absence of national standard methods to evaluate damages of future floods (forecasting) 4
5 Evaluation of future flood damages in practice Great majority of studies consider only part of total damages caused by floods (ex. buildings and contents) Methods, models are generally determined in function of budget restriction and data availability. Uncertainty rarely discussed and studied 5
6 Objectives 6
7 Scientific: Develop a research framework to analyze the impact of different strategies used to evaluate flood damages on the feasibility of the evaluation and on the accuracy of its results Practical: Support the application of future flood damage assessment methods 7
