My research project, titled "Impact-based Flood Early Warning Systems," aims to predict specific information regarding the consequences of surface water flooding in Switzerland. This includes physical damage to people and infrastructure, disruptions of societal activities, and economic losses. To advance research in this area, the following strategic working lines should be developed:
- Study the vulnerability of socio-economic systems or infrastructure to surface water flooding.
- Determine location-based thresholds of hydrometeorological parameters that exceed the vulnerability of infrastructure.
- Engage with stakeholders (users) in flood risk management.
