“…Unlike NOAA's Storm Events Database, which is foremost interested in weather events independent of loss, SHELDUS focuses on loss data. Between 2008 and 2010, an experiment was also conducted by one of NOAA's laboratories to collect specific data on flash floods called the Severe Hazards Analysis and Verification Experiment (SHAVE; Gourley et al, 2013;Calianno et al, 2013;Ortega et al, 2009).…”

Abstract. Every year in France, recurring flood events result in several million euros of damage, and reducing the heavy consequences of floods has become a high priority. However, actions to reduce the impact of floods are often hindered by the lack of damage data on past flood events. The present paper introduces a new database for collection and assessment of flood-related damage. The DamaGIS database offers an innovative bottom-up approach to gather and identify damage data from multiple sources, including new media. The study area has been defined as the south of France considering the high frequency of floods over the past years. This paper presents the structure and contents of the database. It also presents operating instructions in order to keep collecting damage data within the database. This paper also describes an easily reproducible method to assess the severity of flood damage regardless of the location or date of occurrence. A first analysis of the damage contents is also provided in order to assess data quality and the relevance of the database. According to this analysis, despite its lack of comprehensiveness, the DamaGIS database presents many advantages. Indeed, DamaGIS provides a high accuracy of data as well as simplicity of use. It also has the additional benefit of being accessible in multiple formats and is open access. The DamaGIS database is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1241089.

“…Over the last decade much work has been done in order to understand warning processes and how people adapt to environments altered by sudden rises in water levels (Ruin and Lutoff, 2004;Ruin, 2007;Ruin et al, 2008;Creutin et al, 2009;Créton-Cazanave and Lutoff, 2013;Ruin et al, 2013;Calianno et al, 2013). A specific methodology for collecting and analysing data has been developed by these studies.…”

“…We carried out 20 interviews of Lorca residents using qualitative enquiries focusing on how people had reacted during the crisis (Ruin et al, 2013). As we already pointed out, other similar works are based on the same number of individuals (Mishima et al, 2014).…”

“…To collect data we adapted an interview grid originally developed for the analysis of mobility behaviour during flash floods (Ruin et al, 2013). The grid was based on a chronological scale on which time is split into a succession of places or positions and journeys.…”

“…Cells use a code and/or a colour to indicate the type of activity performed by an individual for each time step. In the field of hazards, actograms have been used to analyse mobility during a flood crisis period (Ruin et al, 2013).…”

International audienceThe earthquake which struck the city of Lorca, Spain, on 11 May 2011 killed 9 people, injured over 300 and caused considerable damage, including one collapsed building. Streets near buildings were the main danger areas for people. This article proposes an dynamic ad hoc spatio-temporal method for studying individual evacuation after an earthquake. Its application to the Lorca case shows the spatial and temporal variability of individual exposure levels in the street during the hours following the shock. As yet little studied, human exposure deserves more attention, particularly in zones of moderate seismicity like the Euro-Mediterranean area. The results of this study could be helpful for enhancing the evacuation planning after an earthquake, stressing the specific dangers in the street
