Review of Different Methodologies and Risk Assessment Models Instorm Surge Disaster Management

Abstract:

Storm surge causes severe casualties and commercial losses to the habitant living within the range of it frequently, and has been one of the most harmful and prevailing hazards that attacks coastal areas. This paper is dedicated to reviewing and analyzing the methodologies and models that are generally used to assess the storm surge risk. Firstly, by means of analyzing the existing models of hazard risk assessment, indicating the purpose, process and methodologies. Secondly based on the analysis a comparison of the basic profile has taken into practice, and the advantages and limitations of the models are discussed. Finally, associating with the impacts of storm surges that affect China, we bring up a research direction that leads to further studies.
