Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of natural disaster early warning, and specifically to a multi-source data fusion flood risk assessment and early warning method. Background Technique
[0002] Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters globally, having a profound impact on human society, economy, and environment. According to data from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the economic losses caused by flood disasters worldwide reach up to tens of billions of US dollars annually, and the number of affected people is in the millions. With the acceleration of climate change and urbanization, the frequency and intensity of floods are on the rise, further exacerbating the threat to human life and property.
[0003] Traditional flood early warning systems mainly rely on a single data source, such as meteorological data (e.g., rainfall, temperature, and air pressure) or hydrological data (e.g., river flow and water level). However, a single data source has obvious limitations and is difficult to comprehensively reflect the multi-dimensional characteristics of flood risk. For example, although meteorological data can provide information on rainfall trends, it cannot accurately reflect the impact of factors such as terrain, land use, and population distribution on flood risk. Similarly, although hydrological data can reflect the hydrological conditions of rivers and lakes, it lacks consideration of meteorological conditions and geographical features, resulting in insufficient accuracy and timeliness of early warnings. Therefore, technicians in this field have provided a multi-source data fusion flood risk assessment and early warning method to solve the problems raised in the above background technique. Summary of the Invention
