Development of a hybrid (integrated) risk assessment (HYDRA) model by combining models of various fields such as hydrology, hydraulics and agriculture to develop a comprehensive disaster risk assessment that will provide data accuracy in real time monitoring. This aims to improve monitoring and forecasting schemes of water-related disasters (e.g. droughts, flooding) for hazards monitoring and forecasting, risk assessments and communications to reduce community’s vulnerability from water-related disasters, enhance community preparedness and aid in local planning and decision-making.
