Abstract
Flood risk results from two independent components--hazard and vulnerability [21]. Hazard is a consequence of natural processes inside the hydrological cycle. Vulnerability is directly linked with human activity that could be destroyed or disturbed by the hazard. Without hazard or vulnerability, there is no risk or damage. Flash floods are unique hazards with heavy rainfall, intensive runoff development including mudflows, soil erosion, and landslides. These are extraordinary events with a short warning time that leave people suddenly exposed to high risk.
