6 Flood during Typhoon Fanapi Flood depth is between 105 to 195cm (most of them are around 150cm households are flooded (most of them are ground floor of high rise building) 15 basements are full.

7 Flood during Typhoon Fanapi Flood progress Torrential rain started 9/ Flood started 9/ pond only 1/3 full Pond full 9/ Flood receded 9/ Reasons for ineffective in time: City government: 1.! The rainfall and flow are over design standard. Community leader: 1.! Did not manually start operate in time. 2.! Insufficient water pump installed!

10 Factors influence preparedness behaviors! Socio-economic variables! older! female! married! with child family! higher income! higher education! House possession! residential years! past experience!! Psychological variables! self efficacy! outcome efficacy! attitude! coping strategy! locus of control! responsibility! fatalism! risk perception

11 Interview & Survey! Interview & survey! Interview with community leader and 10 households about their risk perception, flood losses, mitigations and preparedness.! Losses are mainly from damages of motor vehicles and public utility equipment in basement! 3-4 days to drain water in the basement.! No electricity: 2 days; no water: 3 days! Revenue loss per small business: 30,000~50,000 NTD

12 Flood Mitigation and Preparedness! Risk perception (flood threats to your life and property)! Before Fanapi: very small or small There was no flood since the detention pond completed, even during Typhoon Morakot. We think we are pretty safe.! Household flood mitigation and preparedness! have set up 50-90cm flood gates in the ground floor and at the entrance of basement after 2001 flood! No typhoon information: cable TV blackout on 9/18 (did not try to get info. from other media)! Few residents have emergent preparedness (ex. flashlight, water and food)! Evacuation route is upper floors

13 Cause of Flood loss! Community mitigation and preparedness! No community emergency drill (detention pond operation exercise only)! No broadcast system! Flood alarm system malfunctioned (because it was not well-maintained after the completion of the detention pond.)! Cause of flood loss! Motor vehicles and public utility equipment are in the basement (high exposure)! When the huge rainfall come (extreme hazard)! Detention pond is ineffective! Residents flood gates are not high enough We don t have enough time to install flood gates and remove motor vehicles in the ground floor and the basement.

14 Conclusions! Higher flood gate is not an option.! To adapt to the extreme hazard event in the future,! people's perception of unavoidable flood risks have to be ensured continuously! The limitation of mitigation measures! assisting community to relocate public utility equipment to attic would be a useful mitigation and! an effective early warning system are required.! residents have time to prepare (remove motor vehicles and then install flood gates)! Prepare for the worst!

15 Thank you for you attention! Questions and comments are welcomed!
