Population evacuation: evaluating spatial distribution of flood shelters and vulnerable residential units in Dhaka with geographic information systems

The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of flood shelters in relation to flood hazards in a resource-poor country. Flood hazard estimates were developed from multi-temporal flood-affected frequency and floodwater depth maps. It is intended that the results could support...
