The relationship between Lamb weather types and long-term changes in flood frequency, River Eden, UK by Ian Pattison, Stuart N. Lane

“…Research has found that both flood magnitude and frequency in the UK may have increased over the last five decades. However, evaluating whether or not this is a systematic trend is difficult because of the lack of longer records. …”

A deep convolutional neural network model for rapid prediction of fluvial flood inundation by Syed Kabir, Sandhya Patidar, Xilin Xia, Qiuhua Liang, Jeffrey Neal, Gareth Pender

“…The CNN model is trained using outputs from a 2D hydraulic model (i.e. LISFLOOD-FP) to predict water depths. The pre-trained model is then applied to simulate the January 2005 and December 2015 floods in Carlisle, UK. …”

A high-performance coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) modelling framework for flood risk assessment and emergency management by Haoyang Qin

“…Lastly, the third study examines flood risk management in an less-developed region, introducing mobile pumping strategies for pluvial flood mitigation optimised via Reinforcement Learning (RL) within the CHANS framework. …”

A two-way coupled CHANS model for flood emergency management, with a focus on temporary flood defences by Haoyang Qin, Qiuhua Liang, Huili Chen, Varuna De-Silva

“…The findings reveal that temporary defences can significantly reduce flood inundation by 30% with early warnings and 15% through real-time decision-making, leading to financial savings of £30 million and £15 million, respectively. …”

Resilience strategies of healthcare facilities: present and future by Andrew Price, Nebil Achour

“…The frequent discontinuity of medical services during major disasters encouraged the World Health Organisation (WHO) to appeal not to let hospitals be victims of emergencies and it launched a global campaign, Hospitals Safe from Disasters. …”
