The article delineates academic basis of NFIP, namely, flood risk zoning and fiscally sound premium ratemaking.

Considerations on flood risk analysis;

GIS plays a key role in data acquisition, basic data management, flood risk analysis, flood hazard mapping and data distribution and replacement, due to its particular features of spacious data management, analysis and drifting.

Comparative study on flood risk analysis in Netherlands and China;

Research on regional assessment of flood risk and regionalization mapping in China;

Qualitative analysis of flood risk drivers and responses in Taihu Basin

Study on Regional Flood Risk Map Based on GIS;

And flood risk map contains comprehensive information such as area nature, socio-economy and flood calamity, so it can play an important reference role in flood prevention and reduction.

The model can not only be applied to draw the flood risk map,but can also provide a strong technical support for the flooded area management,flood disaster assessment etc.

Studies on relevant issues of flood hazard map;

General introduction of flood hazard mapping in other countries;

GIS application in flood hazard mapping;

Study on technical standardization for flood risk mapping in China;

On the basis of research results achieved,aiming at a pilot study on flood risk mapping,the authors developed a hydraulic modeling software platform for a 2-D simulation of flooding by applying the latest software techniques and object oriented method.
