Throughout the history floods have caused major damages to the mankind not only in terms of human life, but also complete loss of livelihoods and destruction of infrastructure. According to Munich Re (Kron, 2003., Shen, 2010) one third of
all reported damages and one third of all economic loss is flood related.
Numerous studies reveal that disasters are not only outcome of natural hazards
but also of socio-economic structures and political processes that make individual
and families vulnerable.
