Luis's research will build a comprehensive model to explore this issue at local scale. He will investigate technical and social flood warning performance measures.

The framework will consider probabilistic forecasts of fluvial and pluvial floods. It will allow exploration of the relationship between different approaches used to represent decision-making procedures and flood warning performance measures. Luis will compare the results with those obtained by deterministic forecasts commonly used in FFWRSs.

The research will provide insight into the effects of including decision-making procedures when quantifying flood warning performance. It will also provide insight into the benefits of using different types of forecasting information in FFWRSs. This will result in a useful research product for flood managers and scholars.
