Floods, Slope, Rainfall, QGIS software.
Floods remain an important challenge, especially in low -to-touched areas near rivers, where acute monsoon rains and disabled drainage systems increase risk. Identification of flood -prone areas is important for effective disaster preparations and mitigation. Many factors contribute to flood sensitivity, including topography, slope, rainfall, land use and proximity to water bodies. This study appoints QGIS and its hydrological analysis tools to generate a comprehensive flood risk map of Visakhapatnam district. Conclusions suggest that 42.55% of the region is classified as high flood risk, which emphasizes the need for immediate mitigation efforts. The remaining 57.45% shows various levels of flood risk, requiring target intervention to reduce potential effects. To reduce flood-related damage, it is necessary to apply active management strategies especially during the monsoon season. Strengthening infrastructure, increasing drainage systems and promoting community participation are important measures for effective flood risk decrease.
