This poses enormous opportunities to improve the targeted communication of flood risks and accelerate adoption of vulnerability reduction measures. Here we present collaborative shallow-water modeling of flood hazards with end users, which results in hazard maps tailored to local decision-making needs and poised to reduce flood vulnerability within at risk communities.Keyphrases: end users, flood map, flooding, shallow water modeling In: Goffredo La Loggia, Gabriele Freni, Valeria Puleo and Mauro De Marchis (editors).
