APPLICATION OF GIS AND REMOTE SENSING FOR MAPPING FLASH FLOOD RISE IN HOA BINH PROVINCE UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE CONTEXT

Hoa Binh is one of the provinces strongly suffering from natural disasters, especially flash floods. High slope mountainous terrains, reduced vegetation cover and unfavorable weather conditions form favorable conditions for flash floods to occur. This article develops a map of flash flood risk zoning in Hoa Binh using remote sensing and GIS technology. First, the factors affecting the risk of flash floods are identified, and each factor is classified based on the level of influence, then proceed to overlay the component maps causing flash floods. Factors affecting flash flood risk include: Slope, soil type, land use type, forest cover density and rain. As a result, areas at risk of flash floods are identified with 3 level: High, medium and low. This information can be used as a basis for forecasting areas at high risk of flash floods in the province.
