Prioritizing Flood-Prone Areas Using Spatial Data in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. Henry, S., Laroche, A., Hentati, A., & Boisvert, J. Geosciences, 10(12):478, December, 2020. Number: 12 Publisher: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstitutePaper doi abstract bibtex Over the years, floods have caused economic damage that has impacted development in many regions. As a result, a comprehensive overview of flood-prone areas at the provincial scale is important in order to identify zones that require detailed assessment with hydrodynamic models. This study presents two approaches that were used to prioritize flood-prone areas at the provincial scale in New Brunswick, Canada. The first approach is based on a spatial multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) technique, while the second approach pertains to flood exposure analysis. The results show the variation in the identified flood-prone areas and, depending on the methodology and scenario used, prioritization changes. Therefore, a standard methodology might not be feasible and should be developed based on the objective of the study. The results obtained can be useful for flood risk practitioners when making decisions about where to commence detailed flood hazard and risk assessment.
