The progress in the research of flood damage loss assessment

Flood damage assessment is an important part of assessing flood control in hydraulic engineering, flood risk mapping, and flood insurance claims. How to assess flood damage scientifically and accurately has been the emphasis and difficulty of flood disaster research. This article describes the present research status of flood damage loss assessments from three aspects: the disaster classification, the indicator system of assessing the loss of flood damage, and the method of assessing the loss of flood damage, and explores the current problems in the scale of assessment, the indicator system of assessment, the determination of the loss rate of hazard-affected bodies, as well as other aspects in current approach of assessing flood damage loss. In the end, the prospect for further research is made.
