| Zusammenfassung |
| To date, in Austria no empirical assessment of absolute damage curves has
been realized on the basis of detailed information on flooded buildings due
to a dam breach, presumably because of the lack of data. This paper tries to
fill this gap by estimating an absolute flood-damage curve, based on data of
a recent flood event in Austria in 2006. First, a concise analysis of the
case study area is conducted, i.e., the maximum damage potential is
identified by using raster-based GIS. Thereafter, previous literature
findings on existing flood-damage functions are considered in order to
determine a volume-water damage function that can be used for further flood
damage assessment. Finally, the flood damage function is cross validated and
applied in prediction of damage potential in the study area. For future
development of the estimated flood damage curve, and to aid more general
use, we propose verification against field data on damage caused by natural
waves in rivers. |
