Flood vulnerability research focuses on understanding the factors that make communities or regions susceptible to flooding and the potential impacts of flooding on people, infrastructure, and the environment. This research area seeks to identify vulnerabilities such as population density, land use patterns, infrastructure design, and socioeconomic factors that can increase the likelihood of flooding and exacerbate its consequences. Researchers aim to develop strategies and tools to mitigate flood vulnerability, improve disaster preparedness, and enhance resilience to flooding events.
