Abstract

Flooding is a critical global challenge that poses significant threats to urban areas, impacting lives,
infrastructure, and economies. This study provides a comprehensive review of various software applications
used in flood risk assessment, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing technologies,
and hydrological modeling tools. Particular emphasis is placed on the integration of GIS and remote sensing
technologies for flood risk assessment in smart cities and developing countries. By analyzing historical
precipitation data, land-use patterns, and topographic information, the study highlights the advantages of
combining multiple software solutions to enhance predictive accuracy and support effective flood response
strategies. The findings underscore the need for advanced, integrated approaches to improve resilience and
adaptability in urban planning. This research aims to guide government authorities in developing robust,
flood-resilient urban environments capable of mitigating future risks.
