Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Flood hazard maps provide very useful information for the general public and flood risk management professionals. They are constructed from inundation maps of a defined return period. If flood vulnerability information is available, a flood hazard map may be converted into a flood risk map.
