Assessing hurricane-induced flood risks in urban areas using Bayesian networks and GIS applications

Key Points

• Flood risks from hurricanes in urban areas were effectively assessed using advanced bayesian networks and GIS technologies.
• The analysis focused on urban landscapes, revealing potential flood risk zones under simulated hurricane conditions.
• Using GIS applications along with bayesian networks provided a robust framework for evaluating flood risk factors.
• Findings highlight the importance of integrating geographic information systems to improve urban resilience against floods.
