- Flood crisis communication, which takes place in the face of incoming danger, needs a practical and operative approach to cope with potentially destructive, large-scale natural disasters. Since floods are one of the most predictable georisks, communication is an efficient means to reduce risk, especially by reducing people's exposure.

Perennially the world’s most ubiquitous and expensive natural hazard, flooding increases in notoriety as populations and economic investment in coastal and other flood-prone areas continue to climb sharply (Dewan et al., 2006; Bushra et al., 2021). One way to enhance flood risk preparedness is through improved flood risk communication (Maidl and Bu...
Actionable information as defined here refers to relevant data that span flood magnitude and occurrence, damage resulting from flood hazards, alternatives to minimize flood damage, and the associated cost of these alternatives. The time scale on which information can be “actionable” ranges, but a distinction can be considered here between short-ter...
The wide audience of mass media allows it to provide critical information for short-term flood mitigation and response, particularly at the individual level, such as in broadcasting official forecasted flood warnings and in post-disaster relief distribution. Altinay et al. (2021) reminded that mass media can also assist in long-term flood communica...

Grassroots efforts that include public information fairs, Earth Day events, peaceful rallies, educational programs, outreach programs, and other similar efforts are termed “citizen science.” Intended consumers can be both...
As social media share the advantage of mass media in reaching a wide audience quickly, it is not surprising that in recent years, flood information conveyed by social media has received increasing attention. The 2011 Bangkok flood may have been the first major flood event for which the role of social media was studied extensively, with the conclusi...

As hundreds of webtools provide information related to floods and search engines may point to...
Results of this analysis suggest that while mass media, citizen science, and social media have revolutionized the way that people plan for, survive, and recover from floods, their utility is largely restricted to addressing short-term needs for information and/or conveying information about singular events to scientists. More robust applications of...
