When human mobility and flood dynamics intersect, too often we witness tragedies that could have been avoided.
This collective book is the result of the work of an interdisciplinary team. It aims to explore social and hydrological dynamics in order to understand the mechanisms that lead to disasters as well as, conversely, to events of limited impact.
Based on the flash floods that primarily affected the Mediterranean Basin, this book helps to define which events have a high social, hydrological, media-related or territorial impact. It explores specific forecasted problems and studies their influence on regulation, territorial development and social migrations. This book also deals with the place of the multi-scalar approach in the socio-hydrological analysis of the exposure of social mobility to flash floods.

Appendices.
Céline Lutoff is Senior Lecturer at Grenoble Alpes University, France, at the laboratory of social sciences at Grenoble (PACTE). She piloted the ANR MobiClimEx project and currently
co-manages a platform dedicated to a science-society interface concerning regional climate change, Ouranos-AuRA.
Séverine Durand, an environmental sociologist, defended a thesis in 2014 at Aix-Marseille University, France, on living practices in flood zones. During her four years working towards her postdoctoral thesis, she contributed to the MobiClimEx project, proposing a socio-anthropologic approach to mobility facing flash floods.
