Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural disasters. The fact that concurrent global flood events affect millions of people annually, resulting in tremendous loss of life and property, proves that our knowledge in flood risk management is still insufficient. The uncertainty in the future climate makes the tasks of flood protection and prevention even harder than ever. This Special Issue intends to shed new light on new ideas and advanced technologies that deserve more comprehensive study in order to advance flood risk management and related to environmental fluid mechanics. The Issue aims to analyze all the main aspects concerning flood risk management and frontiers in environmental fluid mechanics through research papers and case studies on the following topics:
Advanced techniques of flood and risk modeling;
Adaptation to climate change and related issues;
Innovative flood prevention and mitigation measures;
Best management practices for flood and urban storm water control;
City resilience framework and resilient strategies for flood reduction;
Effective measures to support decision making during emergency response

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
