| description | The present study aims to analyze, on the one hand, the flash-floods forming
potential in the Subcarpathian sector of Buzău catchment, an area with high susceptibility to
hydrological hazards such as flash-floods, and, on the other hand, the vulnerability of the
territorial-administrative units to these risk phenomena. Thus, in the first stage, the Flash
floods Susceptibility Index (FFSI) index was defined for the Subcarpathian sector of Buzău
catchment, based on environmental factors with a relatively static nature, considered causal
factors in the flash-flood phenomena genesis. The next stage of this work was the
delimitation of the vulnerability index of the territorial-administrative units, based on the
highest FFSI index values which correspond to the built surfaces from the analyzed units.
The results showed that more than 80% of the territorial-administrative units are exposed to
flood phenomena, while almst 20% is currently under serious risk of damage in case of
hydrological risk phenomena occurrence. |
