Abstract

As the frequency and impact of floods continue to rise, real-time systems for assessment and sharing flood risk and mitigation information are crucial for proactive stakeholder engagement, effective decision-making, and public education on flood risks. This study introduces an innovative web-based framework designed to revolutionize access and utilization of flood information for flood risk and mitigation assessment. Built upon HydroLang, the framework offers a comprehensive analysis library for assessing and communicating flood risks and mitigation strategies. Key features include the ability to acquire and visualize flood damage data, alongside robust tools for designing mitigation strategies tailored to various flooding scenarios in vulnerable areas. Our approach
significantly enhances scalability, facilitating adoption by diverse users such as municipal planners and information system developers. We validate the framework's utility through detailed case studies, which demonstrate its seamless integration and ease of use, thereby positioning it as an indispensable tool in flood management and risk communication.
