Review: The aim of the research was to develop a generic and portable GIS-based spatial decision support system (SDSS) that integrates the output from flood hazard models with spatial urban databases to assist with risk management decision-making. Over the past decade, a range of agencies charged with the responsibility of disaster management have invested resources into developing geospatial (GIS) databases to support their risk management decision making. These include agencies such as local governments and state and federal disaster management organisations. Similarly, recent work has attempted to develop physical models of the hazard phenomenon including hydraulic flood models, landslide probability models and earthquake probability models to name only few.
