- Description
- Vietnam is vulnerable to multiple hazards, particularly in the central region. It is the most hazard-prone area in Vietnam, where the significant flooding occurs every year and causes huge loss of life and property. This region is impacted by both unfavourable terrain and human interference leading to environmental damage. Roust flood risk assessments are needed to mitigate the extreme flood risk and increase community preparedness for seasonal floods for Vietnam, particular in Central region. Adopting the risk assessment process in AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 and a risk assessment technique in SA/SNZ HB 89:2013, this paper explores the characteristics of flood in Vietnam, analyses the causes of flood in Central region, and proposes a flood risk assessment method for Central Vietnam.
