Flood damage assessments are often based on Stage-Damage Curve (SDC) models that estimate economic damage as a function … of flood characteristics, typically flood depths, and land use. SDCs are developed through site-specific analysis but … developed elsewhere, even if empirical damage reports are collected after every major flood event. In this paper we tested …
