| Sumario: | [EN] This paper evaluates the effectiveness of flood hazard maps in extreme events. For this purpose, the floodable areas according to official maps and those actually flooded during the 2024 DANA in the Poyo-Poçalet-Saleta and Magro river systems are compared. The official hazard is based on MIPICOVA (Integrated Flood Hazard Map of the Valencian Region), which integrates PATRICOVA and SNCZI. The flooded area is mapped from digital sources, corrected through citizen participation. Results show that the coincidence between floodable and flooded areas is significant (85.9%) while in the rest the actual flooding exceeded the expected one. MIPICOVA provides better information than the original layers, because it resolves spatial inconsistencies and discontinuities. Citizen participation has resulted crucial to delimit the flooding. Conclusions point to ways of improving hazard mapping to improve emergency management. |
