Abstract:

In order to enhance the capacity of urban flood prevention and disaster reduction, taking Zhenba County as an example, this paper explores the coupled disaster formation process and risk assessment methods of flood disasters. By analyzing the rainfall data and flood disaster statistics in recent years, the frequent occurrence and severity of flood disasters in this area as well as the huge losses they have caused to the economy and society were revealed. High-precision terrain data was obtained through unmanned aerial vehicle technology and combined with the SWAT for flood simulation, providing accurate disaster data support. A multi-factor risk assessment matrix was constructed, and the comprehensive flood risk index was obtained through normalization processing. The risk assessment results show that 14 areas with grade IV risks are ide.pngied, and the simulation results of the model are highly consistent with the actual situation. The research results indicate that the constructed coupled disaster formation simulation and risk assessment method can accurately ide.pngy high-risk areas. Effective countermeasures are proposed for high-risk areas, including improving flood control capacity, strengthening monitoring and early warning, conducting disaster prevention and education, and strengthening land planning and management.
