The role of gender in flood mortality in European and Mediterranean territories
This study explores gender disparities in flood mortality across Europe and the Mediterranean, leveraging the Database of Flood Fatalities from the Euro-Mediterranean region (FFEM-DB). It applies a gender lens for the first time to a high-resolution, multinational flood mortality dataset in the region, aiming to examine how gender influences fatality patterns, behaviours, and vulnerabilities, to provide more robust insights into gendered patterns…
A systematic assessment of the effects of extreme flash floods on transportation infrastructure and circulation: The example of the 2017 Mandra flood
Have flood mortality qualitative characteristics changed during the last decades? The case study of Greece
Despite the dramatic increase in recorded flood events in Greece in the last decades, recent findings show that related mortality does not show a corresponding rise. This work develops and studies a database of flood-related fatalities to investigate qualitative changes in flood mortality in the country between 1960 and 2010. Observations show a shift in the circumstances under which fatal incidents occurred and in the demographics of the victims…
Hurricane Sandy mortality in the Caribbean and continental North America
Purpose – Tropical storms pose a significant threat to population despite the noteworthy improvements in forecasting and emergency management. Following the effects of Hurricane Sandy in the continental North America (USA and Canada) and the Caribbean, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mortality caused by the hurricane, focussing on differences in human vulnerability between these two regions. Design/methodology/approach – The authors d…
Vehicle-related flood fatalities in Greece
This work focuses on the analysis of vehicle-related flood fatalities in Greece, in an effort to provide a better understanding on the circumstances under which they occur. Therefore, an inventory of 60 fatalities associated with the use of vehicles, induced during 37 flood events between 1970 and 2010, was studied. To this end, we developed a database consisting of variables that provided a systematic description of the circumstances under which…
