- Abstract
This objective was achieved through (i) determination of potential flood hazard zones, (ii) development of flood and risk assessment maps, and (iii) preparation of a flood hazard index (FHI) map. A flood hazard map was generated (Figure), in which four classes of flood vulnerability (low, moderate, high and very high) were defined. GLO:65TF/02dec19:wea3490-fig-0010.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): (a) NASA image before flood, (b) NASA image during flood, and (c) NASA image after flood. gl According to the ranked data and the findings shown on the flood hazard index map, flood-related damage is most likely to occur in the areas closest to the Chenab River.
