Answer:

key to informed decision making on risk management and risk transfer (insurance) is an accurate assessment of risk. In the context of this report, flood risk refers to the magnitude of economic flood loss and the probability that losses of that magnitude will occur. Flood risk assessments focus on four main components:

Flood hazard—the probability and magnitude (e.g., depth, velocity, discharge) of flooding

Exposure—the economic value of assets subjected to flood hazard

Vulnerability—the relationship of flood hazard properties to economic loss

Performance—the effectiveness and behavior of flood protection and damage mitigation measures that modify the flood hazard, the exposure, or the vulnerability

This chapter describes how these four flood risk components are commonly assessed and discusses variations in assessment approaches used by government agencies and private companies to carry out their particular flood risk management or flood insurance responsibilities.
