Abstract:

Floods are the most frequent type of hazard around the globe, affecting more people than any other natural hazards. A total of 222 floods were recorded in 2021 with approximately 30 million affected people (www.emdat.be/database). In 2030, this number could rise to 54 million/year according to the World Resources Institute, despite large infrastructure investments made to mitigate disaster risk.
