Value of damage from floods

Value of losses from floods, referring to capital or economic impacts that can be estimated in monetary terms, arising from sudden flooding, flash floods, or riverbank overflow. This includes both direct losses to assets and infrastructure, as well as long-term economic and social losses. These losses are generally divided into two main categories: 1. Direct Damages: The value of immediate impacts on items affected by flooding, including: - Immovable property and structures: Costs of repairing damaged or collapsed houses, buildings, offices, roads, and bridges. - Assets and equipment: Value of lost furniture, electrical appliances, vehicles, and personal items that cannot be recovered. - Agricultural sector: Agricultural products (e.g., rice, cash crops) and livestock lost due to submersion. 2. Indirect Damages: Consequential impacts arising from the flood, extending to livelihoods and the economic system, including: - Business disruptions: Lost income from businesses, shops, or factories unable to operate. - Disaster management costs: Government and private budgets required for evacuation, emergency aid, distribution of relief kits, and losses in public utilities (e.g., water supply, power outages). - Long-term impacts: Health costs from illnesses following the flood and reduced labor productivity.
