The modeling of rainfall not associated with the passing of a hurricane nearby a specific region can be performed using ERN-LluviaNH, developed by ERN-AL.
This software allows the generation of elliptical stochastic storms that are obtained from PADF (Precipitation, area, duration, frequency) curves for a goven basin.
Here you can download the software installer and make comments on your use experience.

DaLA AlagoasAs chuvas do mês de junho de 2010 afetaram de forma significativa o estado de Alagoas gerando impactos econômicos e sociais as comunidades afetadas. Aproximadamente 270 mil pessoas foram afetadas, das quais 44 mil ficaram desalojadas e mais de 28 mil desabrigadas. O número de mortes chegou a 36 e feridos a 1.131 pessoas. |
Training on Multi-Hazard risk assessmentAs part of the capacity-building activities of the United Nations University – ITC Center on Spatial Analysis for Disaster Risk Management (UNU-ITC DRM) the Faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente, the Netherlands, has developed a training package on the application of GIS for multi-hazard risk assessment. |
Upstream Regulation Adjustments to Ensemble Streamflow PredictionsThe work reported herein addresses the problem of adjusting Ensemble Streamflow Predictions (ESP) to account fot upstream regulation effects to downstream flows in real time. The solution methodology includes the use of regression relationships to eliminate bias in the ESP predictions, among other means. |
Predicting Morphological Changes in Rivers, Estuaries and CoastsFlooding occurs when there is a functional or structural failure of a defence. The first, arise from society’s need to find a compromise between the cost of the defence and the consequences of a flood. Structural failures are generally more dangerous, as they are unexpected and source of notable flooding. |
Integrated Flood Management, Concept PaperAn Integrated Flood Management approach, which is an essential component of Integrated Water Resources Management, can help to balance flood risk management and development needs. |
Integrated Urban Flood ManagementRisk management of water-related natural disasters entails the development of actions through prevention and mitigation in order to reduce the risk of disasters. |
Tsunami and Storm Surge Hazard Map ManualThis manual aims to promote preparation of tsunami and storm surge hazard maps that cover the whole of Japan, and to assist the people in charge of preparation by providing information on 1) basic concepts of tsunami and storm surge hazard maps and 2) standard methods for preparing such maps. |
Disaster Management and Flood Hazard MappingThe goal of the flood management is to minimize the damage of life and property and to maximize the benefit from floods. Since the flood is a natural phenomenon that usually triggered by severe rainfall, it is difficult to get full control over it. |
Flood Inundation ModellingInundation modelling is essential for flood event management. Plans for warning, evacuation and traffic routing often are based on computed flooding patterns, water depths and arrival times of the flood water. |
