1 Introduction Floods are among the most common and destructive hazards, causing significant human losses and extensive material damage (CRED 2025; UNDRR 2025). Their intensity and frequency are rising due to climate change, driven by more extreme rainfall, sea-level rise, and compound events (Karim and Mimura 2008; Tabari 2020; Ranasinghe et al. 2021). However, flood risk cannot be reduced to its hazard dimension alone.
