“…However, the central idea of a loss model is also applicable to pluvial flood damage assessments, for example, Zhou et al [7] described a framework for economic pluvial flood risk assessment considering future climate change which quantifies flood risk in monetary terms as expected annual damage in different return periods of rainfall. Susnik et al [27] used a threshold method in which pluvial flood depths above 30cm are attributed to a fixed damage amount to assess pluvial flood damages from a heavy rainfall event in Eindhoven. Efforts have also been made to relate pluvial flood damage to various parameters based on insurance data or surveys distributed to pluvial flood victims [28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Today, over 50% of the global population lives near water. Due to population growth, ongoing economic development, and extreme weather events, urban areas are growing more susceptible to flood risks, and the costs of inaction of failing to manage flood risks are high. Research into the benefits of pluvial flood-risk management is needed to spread awareness and motivate investments in pluvial flood-risk reduction. So far, such research is lacking. This research therefore assesses pluvial flood damage from a single 60mm/1-hour rainfall event in the cities of Rotterdam and Leicester using 3Di flood modelling and the flood damage estimation tool (waterschadeschatter; WSS). The results demonstrate that potential pluvial flood damages exceed €10 million in each city. From this research, inhabitants and authorities of Leicester and Rotterdam can learn that preparing for upcoming pluvial floods can save millions of euros resulting from future damages. The application of these tools also makes clear that data availability is a highly relevant bottleneck to the pluvial flood damage assessment process. By addressing data shortages, flood damage estimates can be strengthened, which improves decision support and enhances the chance actions are taken in reducing pluvial flood risks.

“…Alguns autores optam por trabalhar o viés puramente econômico, levando em consideração os valores de mercado dos bens, outros buscam a multidisciplinaridade, já que por vezes o bem perdido pode apresentar para o dono um valor que transpõe o estabelecido, e em determinadas ocasiões a perda não é de fácil mensuração. Susnik et al (2014) fizeram o cálculo dos danos causados por inundações em Eindhoven, Holanda, através da comparação entre os gastos atuais que a cidade possuía com os prejuízos por alagamentos, como por exemplo os gastos com doenças transmitidas por meio hídrico, e o investimento em medidas que evitassem os impactos negativos. Uma abordagem diferente foi utilizada em São Paulo onde era levada em consideração apenas a produção industrial da cidade e como a chuva havia afetado este setor (Haddad e Teixeira, 2015).…”

A cidade de Manaus, a mais populosa na Amazônia brasileira, sofre com inundações que afetam a qualidade de vida de sua população. Analisar o prejuízo causado por essa problemática pode auxiliar na tomada de decisões sobre investimentos que trarão melhorias à qualidade de vida de seus habitantes. Neste trabalho foi feita uma estimativa de danos oriundos de Eventos Extremos de Precipitação (EEP) ocorridos em residências da cidade, no período de 1999 a 2018. Os EEP foram selecionados a partir da combinação entre os dados do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia - INMET e as notícias registradas na mídia local, resultando em um total de 31 eventos nos últimos 20 anos. Notou-se que a ocorrência dos EEP é influenciada pela posição da Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT) e pelo fenômeno La Niña. Para estimar os danos foi utilizada a Avaliação Monetária Material Meio Ambiente (AMA), que depende do cálculo do Índice de Pegada da Água (IPA). Por sua vez, o IPA foi calculado tomando por base a altura que a água alcançou após uma chuva ocorrida na cidade. De posse do valor do índice, fez-se o cálculo dos danos ocorridos nos últimos 20 anos, onde obteve-se como resultado o custo de R$ 6.905.311.148,00, um preço bastante relevante que indica perdas significativas para a população.Economic Valuation of Damage Caused by Flooding in the City of Manaus over the last 20 Years (1999-2018) A B S T R A C TThe city of Manaus, the most populous on the Brazilian Amazon, suffers with inundations that affects its inhabitants’ life quality. To analyze the negative impacts caused by this issue may help on the decision-making process about investments that will bring improvement to the citizens life quality. This paper shows an estimation of damages caused by Precipitation Extreme Events (EEP) that happened on residences of the city during the period of 1999 until 2018. The EEP were selected by the combination of data provided by the National Meteorology Institute – INMET and the reports registered on the local media, resulting in 31 events found on the last 20 years. It was noticed that the occurrence of EEP is influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and by the La Niña Phenomenon. In order to estimate the damages, it was used the Environment Material Monetary Assessment (AMA), which depends on the calculation of the Water Footprint Index (IPA). The IPA was calculated with the information of how height the water got from accumulating after a rain event occurred on the city. With the Index’s value it was calculated the losses occurred on the past 20 years, resulting in a cost of R$ 6,905,311,148.00, a relevant price that indicates to significant losses to the population.Keywords: Precipitation, Extreme Events, Damage Assessment.

“…Their prototype tool supports the identification of areas that are vulnerable to floods, the identification of evacuation routes, and the calculation of the duration of the evacuation of people. Other models that are based on an integrated approach connect pluvial flood risk assessment and GIS mapping with an urban road network [44,45], optimising water management systems [12] and the economic effectiveness of flood control and adaptation measures [30,46].…”

“…Ahiablame and Shakya [26] concluded that the capabilities of the new adaption practices for flood control are not well recognised, especially for large-scale applications. In addition, Susnik et al [30] underlined the need for quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of risk-reduction measures. Pluvial flood hazard and risk maps should be provided for large areas, even on the scale of several hundred square kilometres [47].…”

Abstract:The aim of this research is to develop the Pluvial Flood Risk Assessment tool (PFRA) for rainwater management and adaptation to climate change in newly urbanised areas. PFRA allows pluvial hazard assessment, as well as pluvial flood risk mapping. The original model was created using ArcGIS software with the ArcHydro extension, and the script was written using the Python programming language. The PFRA model effectively combines information about land cover, soils, microtopography (LiDAR data), and projected hydro-meteorological conditions, which enables the identification of the spatial and temporal distribution of pluvial flood risks in newly developed areas. Further improvements to the PFRA concern the quantification of pluvial flood-related damages, the application of high resolution precipitation data, and the optimisation of coding.
