• Abstract: Over the past few decades, floods have become one of the costliest natural hazards and losses have sharply escalated. Floods are an increasing problem in urban areas due to increased residential settlement along the coastline and climate change is a contributing factor to this increased frequency. In order to analyze flood risk, a model is proposed to identify the factors associated with increased flooding at a local scale. The study area includes National Harbor, MD, and the surrounding area of Fort Washington. The objective is to assess flood risk due to an increase in sea level rise for the study area of interest. The study demonstrated that coastal flood risk increased with sea level rise even though the predicted level of impact is fairly insignificant for the study area. The level of impact from increased flooding is highly dependent on the location of the properties and other topographic information.

  This study presents an integrated urban flood-risk rating model based on a novel unsupervised graph deep learning model (FloodRisk-Net) Flood risk is found to be spatially distributed in a hierarchical structure within each metropolitan statistical area (MSA), where the core city disproportionately bears the highest flood risk. Multiple cities are found to have high overall flood-risk levels and low spatial inequality, indicating limited options for balancing urban development and flood-risk reduction.

  Flood inundation forecast provides critical information for emergency planning before and during flood events. High-resolution hydrodynamic modeling has become more accessible in recent years, however, predicting flood extents at the street and building levels in real-time is still computationally demanding. We present a hybrid process-based and data-driven machine learning (ML) approach for flood extent and inundation depth prediction.
