Task 5: For the site (in the past): Collect information on flood extent/history in the past (maps of flooding; numbers of properties

affected, and their types [e.g. residential; non-residential etc]; photos; etc)

Task 6: For the site (in the past): Collect information on any flood

damages and/or disruption to economic activities (i.e. traffic; railways; agriculture) in the past

Task 7: For the site (in the past): Collect details any injuries and loss

of life in floods in the past here.

Task 8: For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on Flood hydrology (flows; flood return periods; flood extents, etc) for the site.

Task 9: For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on modelled

or estimated future flood extents (geographical areas) by return period (e.g. for the 2; 5; 20; 50; 100 year floods).

Task 10: For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on property

numbers and types [e.g. residential; non-residential etc] in each of those areas identified above.

Task 11: For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on population numbers (estimated) in each of those areas.

Task 5 For the site (in the past): Collect information on flood extent/history in the past (maps of flooding; numbers of properties affected, and their types [e.g. residential; non-residential etc]; photos; etc)

It will be useful to know the extent to which the study location has a history of flooding, to inform both our assessment of damages and our elaboration of potential risk reducing measures. For example, it will be useful to know whether the area is affected very rarely by major events or

regularly by minor floods.

Task 6 For the site (in the past): Collect information on any flood damages and/or disruption to economic activities (i.e. traffic; railways; agriculture) in the past

It will be useful to have an idea of the kind of damages that are caused in this location, not least so we can concentrate on those areas where damage is greatest.

Task 7 For the site (in the past): Collect details any injuries and loss of life in floods in the past here.

It is important to stress within the case studies that economics using money values is not the whole story. Many intangible impacts from floods, and injury and loss of life are two of these.

Task 8 For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on Flood hydrology (flows; flood return periods; flood extents, etc) for the site

Any assessment of the benefits of flood risk reduction requires the assessment of the impact in the future of a range of events of different return periods. Taking a single event is likely to lead to

gross errors. See Annex B4

Task 9 For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on modelled or estimated future flood extents (geographical areas) by return period (e.g. for the 2; 5; 20; 50; 100 year floods)

Each of the floods of different severities in the future, the return periods of which are estimated, needs to have a map showing the properties affected. The rare floods (e.g. 1:100 years) will affect more properties than the more common floods (e.g. 1:10 years). If this is not the case, the data is

likely to be flawed.

Task 10 For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on property numbers and types [e.g. residential; non-residential etc] in each of those areas identified above

This is a crucial ingredient, identifying properties and potential damage from events of different return periods. This is what will be used to calibrate the loss-probability curve (see Annex B4).

Task 11 For the site (now and in the future): Collect data on population numbers (estimated) in each of those areas.

It may be possible to assess the number of properties in the area from the population that lives there, in the absence of better information (i.e. divide population by c. 2.3 to identify the number of households/houses). In any case this information may be useful for assessing the potential loss

of life or injury during floods, related to the population living there.
