Abstract

In terms of its magnitude, occurrence, geographical distribution, loss of life and property, displacement of populations, and socioeconomic impacts, Ÿooding is the most common global environmental hazard (Loster, 1999). It accounts for at least a third of global natural disasters per annum with approximately 20, 000 lives lost and 20 million people displaced (Loster, 1999; Smith, 2004). Approximately one third of the world’s land area is prone to Ÿooding and with 82% of the world’s population inhabiting these areas, it represents a signi¥cant hazard (Dilley et al., 2005). According to Jonkman (2005), during the period from 1975 to 2002, 176, 864 people
