Identifying how the strategies used to assess potential damages of future floods can affect the results of the evaluation
Résumé
The aim of this paper is to develop a research framework to analyze the impact of different strategies used to evaluate urban flood damages on the feasibility of the evaluation and on the accuracy of its results. Two main parts of the evaluation process are discussed: (1) hydrodynamic simulation of flood events and its hydrological components and (2) assessment of assets vulnerability to floods. The framework compares two aspects of the evaluation: uncertainty - variability of the evaluation results according to the choice of models and methods; feasibility - time and investment required to realize and maintain the evaluation. The objectives of this methodological framework are to better understand the whole flood damage evaluation process and to identify the relevance of the different steps of the evaluation. We intend to help stakeholders in the choice of evaluation strategies with a good compromise between evaluation efforts and results reliability.
