Abstract

As the frequency and impact of floods increase, real-time systems for assessing and sharing flood risk and mitigation information are becoming increasingly important for supporting stakeholder engagement, decision-making, and public awareness. This study presents a web-based framework developed to improve access to and use of flood-related information for risk and mitigation assessment. Built on HydroLang, the framework includes a modular analysis library for evaluating and communicating flood risks and mitigation options. It supports the acquisition and visualization of flood damage data and provides tools for exploring mitigation strategies across different flooding scenarios and vulnerable regions. The system is designed with scalability in mind, enabling use by a range of users, including municipal planners and system developers. We demonstrate the framework's application through case studies that highlight its integration capabilities and practical utility in flood risk management workflows.
