Abstract

Among different types of natural disasters in the world, floods and especially Flash Floods, are known as the most devastating hazard which cause serious damages and fatalities in residential areas. Importance of estimating the maximum possible number of fatalities due to Flash Floods in urban watersehds is undeniable in order to consider appropriate management plans to reduce the number of casaulties and lives lost. Applying some global equations to Kan River watershed, located in the north of Tehran, led to this conclusion that their accuracy for estimating the number of human fatalities is not reliable and developing a regional relationship is essential. In this study, using hydraulic parameters such as depth and velocity, a regional and comprehensive equation was developed to estimate loss of life due to Flash Flood in residential areas. Comparing the outcomes of the developed regional equation with global equations showed that the proposed equation provides more accurate estimation of the number of fatalities in the study area. Finally, it can be concluded that for watersheds with high flood fatality potential developing a regional equation could be more accurate and practical than existing of general relationships and global models.
