Dual-tiered Flood Risk Assessment of Sewage Treatment Facility Using Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model Incheon National University, Department of Safety Engineering, Incheon, Republic of Korea Extreme weather events resulting from climate change increasingly threaten sewage treatment facilities, critical to public health and safety. Current disaster response systems in Korea lack systematic methodologies for assessing flood risks in environmental facilities. This study introduces a novel approach to flood risk assessment, integrating advanced modelling and expert analysis techniques. A two-dimensional flood analysis model was used to simulate flood scenarios, accounting for external factors like river overflow and internal vulnerabilities such as facility inflows. The modified HAZOP technique and AHP method were employed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the risk and vulnerability of unit processes. This methodology combines inundation analysis with expert-driven risk indicators, offering precise insights into flood-prone processes. The study emphasizes the practical application of these findings, proposing protective measures and emergency plans for high-risk processes. By leveraging advanced modelling and analytical tools, this research contributes to enhancing disaster resilience in sewage treatment facilities, demonstrating the necessity of transitioning from reactive to preventive disaster management systems. | |
