Abstract --The purposes of this two-year study are to collect the information and literatures of flood damages in Taiwan or other countries, and to assess the flood damage losses.
The relationships between the direct flood damage losses, flood frequency, flood depth, and land use are analyzed and employed to establish the “Systematic Models for Flood Damage Evaluation.”
Meanwhile, the data of the direct flood damage from Nari Typhoon in Taipei Metropolitan (including Keelung city) in 2001 are collected and investigated, and are set up for verification of the systematic model on direct flood damage evaluations.
On the other hand, the “Systematic Model for Flood Damage Evaluation” will include the indirect flood damage evaluation after the task of “Documentation of Typhoons and Heavy Rainfalls of 2001” (another project funded by WRA) finished.
Finally, the user manual of the Systematic Model for Flood Damage Evaluation will be furnished. The training and extensions will be done to promote the use of the models by government and consultants.
