“…van Ree et al . () discussed the FloodPRoBE research project, which links infrastructure vulnerability assessment, reliability assessment of flood defences and the development of new technologies and concepts to advance the effectiveness of flood protection. Third, institutional frameworks concerned how organizations, including roles and responsibilities among stakeholders, are structured.…”

The environmental management literature suggests that resilience is key to managing complex systems and reducing vulnerability resulting from uncertainty and unexpected change. Yet, flood risk management (FRM) has emerged largely from a culture of resistance. This paper takes the pulse of the current state of FRM research, with a focus on how the scholarly community has approached governance for flood resilience. Our analysis of the FRM journal literature identified 258 articles addressing governance and flooding, resilience and adaptation. Five main research themes emerged from these articles, addressing a variety of issues, but mostly lacking the degree of integration needed to address the social‐ecological complexity of FRM. Overall, research supporting the governance of FRM for resilience lacks integration, and methods of mitigating this lack of integration are poorly studied. We conclude with a discussion about the nature and scope of FRM research for resilience, and identify opportunities for more integrative FRM research that is more tightly coupled with policy and practice.

“…The Hurricane Katrina disaster has been studied in detail by the American Society of Civil Engineers -ASCE (2007), Select Bipartisan Committee (2006) -a Committee of the US Senate, Jonkman, Maaskant, Boyd, andLevitan (2009), Crowther, Haimes, andTaub (2007), Griffis (2007) andvanRee et al (2011). Although it could be argued that this section could be made much shorter by simply referring the reader to the abundant information in the above reports it is suggested that such a primary data collection would be of lower quality as over time memories would have faded and key individuals may no longer be available.…”

a b s t r a c tThere is a need to facilitate learning from failures in the context of natural and man-made disasters. This paper investigates the multi-faceted nature of research in disasters and the aspect of hybrid approaches in modelling within this domain. The paper applies a framework of reliability and multiple criteria decision analysis techniques to the case of the Hurricane Katrina disaster of 2005. It is shown how this hybrid model can be used through an integrative approach to perform a systematic analysis that can lead to learning from failures.The proposed framework incorporates and integrates Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) analysis and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) concept, together with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is used as a simulation model for decision support. It is shown how the proposed integrated framework can contribute to our understanding of failures and enhances the ability to extract lessons from failures or disasters. Such lessons are then mapped into specific decisions for prevention, and resource allocations, to help avoid a repeat disaster.

“…This specifically holds true for critical infrastructure assets: services, and information technology facilities, networks and assets (Lhomme et al, 2012). If disrupted or destroyed, these would have a serious impact on the well-being of citizens and the operation of an organisation, sector, region or government (Van Ree et al, 2011). There is a large body of scientific literature on the assessment of economic losses resulting from the impact of flooding to critical infrastructure assets (De Graaf et al, 2012;Escarameia et al, 2012).…”

This paper focuses on the vulnerability and protection of critical urban infrastructure from flooding. It presents a pragmatic and rapid screening procedure, referred to as a 'Quick Scan methodology' . The purpose of the Quick Scan is to provide guidance for network operators and decision makers on identifying and rating those critical infrastructure networks and hot spot buildings that may be at risk from flooding, and assessing where intervention will be most feasible and cost beneficial -the so-called quick wins. This approach will support the development of effective interventions to alleviate direct and indirect flood impacts. Workshops and interviews with stakeholders and experts have been organised in pilot cities -Bangkok, Paris and Dordrecht -to test and further develop the Quick Scan and to obtain feedback and lessons learned for the protection of critical urban infrastructure. This paper presents the findings of the stakeholder workshops carried out in the city of Bangkok.
