Short summary
This study evaluates the effect of reduction in socio-economic indicators on the flood risk of a community residing in flood prone area. A flood modelling framework to generate flood inundation maps, which are then combined with vulnerability derived for different socio-economic scenarios to quantify corresponding flood risk. The framework considers the unique challenges of flood management in densely populated urban regions and may significantly reduce the risk associated with flooding.
