Abstract

Floods have become more frequent across the world, making them one of the most destructive events in terms of financial losses. Being able to recognize the places which are more susceptible to floods can help with flood risk reduction and management. However, flood maps are usually only accessible in the local disaster prevention division of the respective municipalities, in close cooperation with the residents, qualified experts, NGOs, and other pertinent bodies. This study developed an application that provides information about flood levels by simulating floods using open-source GIS software that can be used in Flood Risk Reduction and Management. This study helped make a flood map accessible to all the residents who live in the chosen study area by producing an application that can be downloaded to their phones to be aware of the possible flood levels and help them prepare for the coming rain. The study's findings helped the municipality of Guagua to manage the risk of flooding in the affected area mentioned in the study. People can utilize the application to locate which areas are flooded. Researchers could use the findings to identify other areas of concern and suggest appropriate solutions to help the affected areas.
