Developing a SDSS for multi-criteria flood susceptibility mapping in Malaysia

Flood are the natural disaster occurred which causes socio-economic consequences by devastating economic and social losses. The aim of this study is to propose a GIS multi-criteria methodology to produce a reliable hazard zone mapping and prediction of flood-prone areas. Flood mapping has been us...
