| Abstract: | The structural measure was the major solution for flood defense in Taiwan. However, the measure is always limited to the design
standard and cannot prevent the damages when floods exceed certain scale. Therefore, non-structural measures for flood mitigation
are the indispensable complements to structural solutions. The study introduces the establishment of inundation potential
database that provides required information for the non-structural measures in Taiwan. The database was built by numerical
simulations, based on different rainfall scenarios, and has been applied by the local governments of Taiwan for land use managements,
flood warning systems, emergency responses, and flood insurance programs to reduce the flood damages and impacts. |
