摘要：Both developed and developing countries are promoting risk management and refining the ability to alleviate the effects of disaster both man-made and natural, which have become a threat to human life and the world’s economy. The variability in climate change, rapid urbanization and fast-growing socio-economic development has naturally increased the risk associated with flooding. A recent report showed that flood have affected more individuals than any other category of disaster in the 21st century with the highest percentage of 43% of all disaster events in 2019 and Africa been the second vulnerable continent after Asia. So, it is highly important to devise a scientific method for flood risk reduction since it cannot be eradicated. Machine learning can improve the risk management. The paper proposes a pluvial flood detection and prediction system based on machine learning techniques. The proposed model will employ a fuzzy rule-based classification approach for pluvial flood risk assessment.
