Abstract
This chapter presents an analytical overview of the selected hydrological disaster case studies in the world that include floods, landslides, mudflows and avalanches. Within the hydrological disaster natural subcategory, the following disaster case studies are analysed: Floods along the Gulf Coast, the United States of America (2005); Floods and Landslides in Switzerland (2005) and Floods in Pakistan (2010), based on the use of the urbanscape, through its built and natural elements: the urban pattern of the everyday life and the urban vulnerability during the pre-disaster phase; the direct urban impact during the disaster event phase and the urban rehabilitation during the post-disaster phase.
