| Summary: | Flood events are among the most devastating natural disasters, causing significant direct and indirect
damages across various socio-economic sectors. Accurate damage, loss, and risk modeling are essential for
implementing effective flood risk management strategies, particularly in regions prone to recurrent flooding.
This article explores a structured methodology for flood damage and loss modeling in Romania, focusing on
the Dâmbu River basin as a case study. By employing damage functions, classifying damages, and identifying
typologies of vulnerable elements, this study provides insights into risk quantification and mitigation strategies.
The findings underscore the necessity of localized, high-resolution data for accurate flood risk mapping to
inform policy and community resilience. |
