abstract:
Heavy precipitation events (HPE) and flash floods (FF) are common phenomena over the Mediterranean region.
The contribution provides illustrative results obtained from inter-disciplinary post-event surveys (PES) aimed at understanding the complexity of both the hydrological responses to HPE and the behavior of the exposed populations during such sudden crises.
