Flood exposure of environmental assets by G. Bertoli, C. Arrighi, E. Caporali

“…They can be affected by floods; however, flood risk analyses usually neglect environmental areas due to (i) a lack of agreement on what should be considered an environmental asset, (ii) a poor understanding of environmental values, and (iii) the absence of damage models. The aim of this work is to advance the understanding of environmental exposure to river floods by first identifying asset typologies that could be considered in flood risk analyses and second by introducing a method, named EnvXflood, to estimate flood exposure qualitative values of environmental assets. …”
