The research aims to create a comprehensive framework for assessing flood susceptibility and prioritizing flood risk across Pakistan.
National assessment of flood susceptibility for the years 2002, 2012, and 2022 using GIS-based AHP approach.
Integration of climatic, environmental, topographic, hydrological, soil, land-use change, and anthropogenic indicators.
Application of district-level assessments, persistence mapping, and Comprehensive Flood Risk Priority Index (FRPI).
High and very high flood susceptibility zones account for over 7% of Pakistan's land area, primarily along the Indus River corridor.
Persistent hotspots include Rann of Kutch (66.6%), Jacobabad (65.0%), and Jafarabad (61.1%).
Highest FRPI values are found in Jacobabad (0.742), Rann of Kutch (0.738), and Badin (0.711), indicating priority areas for flood risk management.
