    The socioeconomic impact of climate-related hazards: flash flood impact assessment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2021) Tariqur Rahman Bhuiyan; Ah Choy Er; Nurfashareena Muhamad; Joy Jacqueline Pereira
    Small-scale flash flood events are climate-related disasters which can put multiple aspects of the system at risk. The consequences of flash floods in densely populated cities are increasingly becoming problematic around the globe. However, they are largely ignored in disaster impact assessment studies, especially in assessing socioeconomic loss and damage, which can provide a significant insight for disaster risk reduction measures. Using a structured questionnaire survey, this study applied a statistical approach and developed a structural equation model (SEM) for assessing several socioeconomic dimensions including physical impacts, mobility disruption, lifeline facilities, health and income-related impacts.
