Summary We developed a flood risk analysis method for catastrophic flood disasters damage reduction considering uncertainty on the climate change prediction, the distribution of the population and the properties in the future, and on the evacuation of residents in the flooded area. We also developed a method for sharing the flood risk analysis results among the stake holders. We suggested that these methods should be used for arranging and selecting measures against catastrophic flood disasters under the global climate change.
