Codes for comparison of flood risk methods

	1	2	3	4	5
Maps	Non flood risk map	Hazard: zoning of áreas susceptible to flooding	Vulnerability	Population possibly affected by flooding	Flood risk
Model	Empirical	Deterministic: physical process	Stochastic	Mixed
Domain	Lumped	Spatially distributed
Hazard	Zoning of susceptible areas to flooding	(1) Extreme discharge, (2) Saturation deficit (3) Flood inundation depth	Flood intensity	Probability associated to rainfall-runoff	Flood hazard index
Vulnerability	Socio-economic characteristics	Population possibly affected by flooding	(1) Exposure (2) Susceptibility (3) Resilience	Land use map	Index
Exposure	Index	(1) Population density (2) Housing density
Risk	(1) Hazard (2) Vulnerability	(1) Hazard (2) Vulnerability (3) Exposure	Exceedance probability of effective precipitation
Flood risk type	Qualitative	Quantitative
