Abstract Flood disaster risk reductions are attempted on the basis of a number of different conceptual approaches to risk. Flood disaster risk management is considered in this work as a decision problem. This paper presents a framework for flood disaster risk reduction, conceptualizes risk measures, develops operational definitions of the risk measures, implements the framework in the form of a computerized risk assessment tool, and applies the disaster risk assessment tool to the analysis of flood risk.
Key words flood management; fuzzy reliability analysis; risk
